While waiting for EasyPHP DevServer<\/a> release v15.10 with bundled PHP 7, I went to install the latest PHP on my machine running v14.1 VC 11. And that was quick and easy. You can do it by following the 8 easy steps below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Step 1: Download PHP 7.0.0<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

First, you need a PHP package. You can get it from https:\/\/windows.php.net\/download\/<\/a> (or simply click\u00a0here<\/a> to download\u00a0the v7.0.0\u00a0VC14 x86 Thread Safe package).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Step 2: Create a PHP7 directory for EasyPHP<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Open in your favourite file explorer (I prefer Total Commander<\/a>, but you can use Windows Explorer too) directory\u00a0C:\\Program Files (x86)\\EasyPHP-DevServer-14.1VC11\\binaries\\php\\<\/strong> and create a new subdirectory php700x151203113333<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Step 3: Unzip the PHP7 package<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Now unpack the content of the PHP package php-7.0.0-Win32-VC14-x86.zip<\/code> to just created directory\u00a0C:\\Program Files (x86)\\EasyPHP-DevServer-14.1VC11\\binaries\\php\\php700x151203113333\\<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Step 4: Create an EasyPHP description file for PHP7<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Create a new file with the name easyphp.php<\/code> inside directory C:\\Program Files (x86)\\EasyPHP-DevServer-14.1VC11\\binaries\\php\\php700x151203113333\\<\/strong>\u00a0and add following content to it:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<?php\n$phpversion = array();\n$phpversion = array(\n\t\"status\"\t=> \"0\",\n\t\"dirname\"\t=> \"php700x151203113333\",\n\t\"name\" \t\t=> \"PHP\",\n\t\"version\"\t=> \"7.0.0\",\n\t\"date\" \t\t=> \"2015-12-03 11:33:33\",\n\t\"notes\" \t=> \"\",\n);\n?><\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n
Step 5: Run EasyPHP<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Now start EasyPHP on your machine, visit the PHP Change Version<\/strong> page in your browser http:\/\/127.0.0.1\/home\/index.php?page=php-page&display=changephpversion<\/a> and select\/activate PHP 7.0.0<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n
IMPORTANT!<\/strong>

When you activate PHP 7.0.0 in EasyPHP, path of PHP files has been changed from

C:\\Program Files (x86)\\EasyPHP-DevServer-14.1VC11\\binaries\\php\\php700x151203113333\\<\/strong>

to

C:\\Program Files (x86)\\EasyPHP-DevServer-14.1VC11\\binaries\\php\\php_runningversion\\<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n
Step 6: Update CURL and SSL libraries<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
You’ll get two error alerts like<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n
the ordinal 387 could not be located in the dynamic link library php_curl.dll<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
which means you need to update two DLL’s in the Apache2 directory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Copy files libeay32.dll<\/code>\u00a0and ssleay32.dll<\/code>\u00a0from C:\\Program Files (x86)\\EasyPHP-DevServer-14.1VC11\\binaries\\php\\php_runningversion\\<\/strong> to C:\\Program Files (x86)\\EasyPHP-DevServer-14.1VC11\\binaries\\apache\\bin\\<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n
Step 7: Add PHP7 to\u00a0the Apache2 config<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Edit file C:\\Program Files (x86)\\EasyPHP-DevServer-14.1VC11\\binaries\\apache\\conf\\httpd.conf<\/strong> and comment out line for PHP5:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
#LoadModule php5_module \"C:\/PROGRA~2\/EASYPH~1.1VC\/binaries\/php\/php_runningversion\/php5apache2_4.dll\"<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
and add a new line for PHP7<\/p>\n\n\n\n
LoadModule php7_module \"C:\/PROGRA~2\/EASYPH~1.1VC\/binaries\/php\/php_runningversion\/php7apache2_4.dll\"<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n
Step 8: Restart EasyPHP<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
The last step is to restart EasyPHP.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\"EasyPHP:<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n
After this, you’ll have PHP 7.0.0 on EasyPHP DevServer 14.1 VC11.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
