We decided to transition out of this effort starting with the upcoming release and as part of our yearly review of this investment. During this transition, we will work with members of the community who choose to take this packaging on. While we will no longer work on PHP builds for Windows, expect to see us remain involved in PHP in many ways across MS as we continue supporting PHP developers and collaborating with the community on security fixes.

I admit to a certain degree of confusion in light of the previous announcement which said: "We are not [...] going to be supporting PHP for Windows in any capacity for version 8.0 and beyond." Has this been a policy change since the first announcement? --- ## #110987 — Dale Hirt via internals — 2020-07-14T00:02:13+00:00 URL: https://externals.io/message/110985#110987 There is no policy change.

Microsoft has got one of the best document site on C#, C++ and Azure but I haven't seen anything about php.  It would, therefore be very useful if something about php is posted somewhere so that php users, who are still on Windows and wants to remain on windows, can continue  compiling the php code for private use. -- With over 1.2 billion devices now running Windows 10, customer satisfaction is higher than any previous version of windows. --- ## #110989 — Dale Hirt via internals — 2020-07-14T01:39:33+00:00 URL: https://externals.io/message/110985#110989 · In reply to: #110988 We simply followed this guide: https://wiki.php.net/internals/windows/stepbystepbuild_sdk_2 -----Original Message----- From: 😉 Good Guy 😉 Sent: Monday, July 13, 2020 6:14 PM To: internals@lists.php.net Subject: [EXTERNAL] Re: [PHP-DEV] Microsoft Statement on PHP > For over a decade, Microsoft has helped fund build infrastructure for the PHP for Windows community.
