    Or of course you can install Apache for Win32 and use PHP on that.

    Yes. You can run PHP with IIS.

    IIS = ASP
    APache = PHP

    around 60% of webservers run Apache

    IIS costs more due to licensing.

    Id go with Apache

    Don't forget the OS.
    IIS = Windows
    Apache = everything

    If you want Apache+PHP+MySQL, in an easy to install package, get IBserver:
    http://ibsoftware.d2digitalmedia.com/ibserver/

    This is an hassle free install... You'll get also PHP-Nuke and PHPMyAdmin with that.

    Oh and I'm agree with everybody else... (if you can!) forget about IIS!

    tnx for all that guys.. im aware of most of the issues there i use Apache+PHP+MySQL my self alright...

    is running Apache+PHP+MySQL on a windows box ok... obviously linux would be preferable... however

    im proposing an intranet site to a client.... this client is in the tv/animation/audiovisual/special effects sector. they want an intranet site that will be available to all in thier company nationwide.. not ireland.
    presently they have a basic few html but are prioritising the development of an intranet that will eventually be rolled out to in internet.
    thier architecture is predominantly windows and thier current crappy site is on iis.

    i want to propose Apache+PHP+MySQL architecture on that same windows box
    anybody see any issues here?

    No reason why it would cause problems, though the Linux evangelists may disagree :D
