I want to learn PHP, but I can’t even install it.

I’m using this tutorial, but when I give the command php --version prompt, error message appears:

The program can’t start because MSVCR110.dll is Missing.

I’d be grateful if someone could help me.

Baixa a dll MSVCR110.dll and puts inside the folder of the program you are trying to start, this missing this dll.

Many people when installing Wampserver come across an error at the time of launching the application saying that the file is missing MSVCR110.DLL.

This error is actually caused by the lack of an indispensable library to run several Windows applications, and the solution to this problem is very simple. Just download the Visual C++ Redistributable Package and install.

It will be shown the download screen (as shown in the image below) in which it is necessary to choose the language (can leave in English because there is no translation for this package) and click on DOWNLOAD.

If you want to learn PHP, I suggest you don’t waste time trying to install PHP and the Apache server manually, use a tool that comes all ready, so you focus on developing and learning the language.

Don’t worry about installing manually, because when using in a production environment, as it comes to PHP, it is almost certain that will run on Linux, because the cost of the servers is cheaper and also because if it were to run on Windows you could use ASP.NET. Not that that’s a rule, but that’s what most markets follow.

Here are two tools I use and recommend, you do not need to have both, choose one and test.

Uwamp

Server with Apache, Mysql, PHP and Sqlite, it is portable, can save on a USB stick and already works, and also comes with phpmyadmin configured.

Wamp

It’s basically the same thing as Uwamp, but it has a few more tools and is more robust, it can run as a service on Windows.

http://www.wampserver.com/en/

It is worth noting that both are not recommended for a production environment, only testing and development.
