WampServer

Hi everyone,

I am going to use WampServer to run a large in-house PHP program for our firm that is very heavily used both locally and externally in a production environment. I will be installing it on x64 Windows Server 2012 that is loaded up with several processors, 256 gig of ram, etc.

Ideally I think using WAMP 64 bit would be preferable so I can utilize the full resources of my server but I've also read many places that WAMP Server 64 bit was not recommended for production sites as it was still experimental. Is this information old and outdated? Is WAMPServer 3.0 x64 bit now stable and safe to use for production sites?

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Matt

The reference to EXPERIMENTAL was related to ALL versions of PHP prior to PHP7

It is only in PHP7 that PHP was fully ported to 64bit.

That was the only experimental bit, and applied to all 64bit PHP installations on windows prior to PHP7 regardless of where you got your PHP from, WAMPServer / XAMPP / Manual install / etc / etc.

That still applies if you are going to use a version of PHP prior to PHP7.0.0

PHP7.0.7 is now available as an ADDON to WAMPServer 3 installations
