 To configure IIS with PHP, IIS needs to know where "php.ini" is. IIS gets to know the location of this file through a registry entry, which is  HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE->SOFTWARE->PHP->!IniFilePath with string value '''c:\php\''', suppose PHP is installed under c:\php. If PHP is installed with Windows installer, the registry entry is created automatically, otherwise, this key needs to created manually. 
+
+If you have multiple PHP installed, it might be tricky to tell IIS which PHP to use, which is beyond the scope of this document. Please refer to [http://www.php.net/manual/en/configuration.file.php this site] for information about '''IniFilePath'''.

The minimum configurations are Handler Mapping, ISAPI and CGI Restrictions

+
+Bear in mind that if you configure IIS on Server level, all your applications deployed to IIS will have the same configuration, which might not be what you want. So please carefully design your IIS configuration such as which configuration should be on Server level, which on Virtual Directory level. General rule is to put the shared common configuration to Server level, while finely tune each application by configuring the virtual directory level.
