If you're looking for quick and dirty just to get it up and running fast to play with, then download the installer. It's that much smaller because it just doesn't include a lot of extras such as external extensions. I personally suggest the ZIP package and doing a manual install. There is documentation available to help you and there is much more bundled in the zip package that you don't have to go looking for if you end up needing it. Cheers.

Hi there, Just went to php.net to download the installer/zip. I notice that the zip is quite large 7 megs or so... but the installer is only 2 megs.. The installer says CGI ONLY, i quite a newbie at this and I just wish to install it on the server, what are the differences? The installer says it automatically configures IIS for me but the ZIP doesn't state that.. Can anybody give any guidance on which method I should go for ??
