Common install paths for PHP on Windows

Question

I'm building a setup process that needs to know where PHP (php-win.exe) is installed on Windows. It asks the user for the location, but ideally it will test a few obvious locations first.

Obvious install paths include:

• C:/Program Files/PHP
• C:/wamp/bin/php/version/

Does anyone have either a list or more suggestions?

[this is being used by a command line tool as opposed to an installer which would make it easy just to select the folder].

Answer 1

The most common path I've seen for PHP on Windows is:

C:\php

If you're checking for wamp you could also check for xampp.
