PHP (Hypertext Preprocessor)

PHP is an HTML-embedded scripting language. Much of its syntax is borrowed from C, Java and Perl with a couple of unique PHP-specific features thrown in. The goal of the language is to allow web developers to write dynamically generated pages quickly.

This product includes PHP software, freely available from [http://www.php.net/software/](http://www.php.net/software/)

## Package Parameters

- `/DontAddToPath` - Do not add install directory to path

- `/InstallDir` - Override the installation directory (needs to be specified both during install and update, until it is remembered by choco)

- `/ThreadSafe` - Install the thread safe version of php that is compatible with Apache.

These parameters can be passed to the installer with the use of --package-parameters.

For example: `choco install php --package-parameters='"/ThreadSafe ""/InstallDir:C:\PHP"""'`.
