Again:

The recommendation (from php.net and from Microsoft) is to run PHP x86
(32bit) on Windows x64 platform. It works very well (better than php
x64 on x64) and is proven stable.

PHP Web applications won't see the difference as PHP is portable, it
is not aimed to be run on x64 or x86, it has to work on both. The
differences at this stage on windows are:
- The libraries are not tested on windows x64 and for some of them not
even ported
- There is no gain (no performence improvement, no larger integer or
whatever else you are looking for)

About configuring PHP x86 on IIS x64, this process is the same than
for windows+IIS x86. See our manuals, the IIS section.

Cheers,
