John Mertic’s made even more updates to the Windows installer he’s been working on - this time, he’s enhanced the install with a web server selection tool.
I’ve updated the Installer with the following changes:
- Added a dedicated dialog for selecting your Web Server
- Moved the dialog to pick the Apache conf folder into the installer itself
There’s also a screenshot of this new feature to give you an idea of what the support will look like. This latest update can be downloaded here.

On the Zend Developer Zone, there’s a spotlight on a book from APress and a sample chapter that’s being offered - “Pro PHP XML and Web Services” by Robert Richards.
