Building PHP or PHP extensions on Windows systems is not so easy even with a great step-by-step guide available here https://wiki.php.net/internals/windows/stepbystepbuild and an updated version here https://wiki.php.net/internals/windows/stepbystepbuild_sdk_2 .
These scripts are intended to ease this process for the average Windows PHP user and to have a good starting point for compiling your own or third party extensions.
If you have Git and MS Visual Studio Express 2012 for Windows Desktop (PHP 5.6.x) or
MS Visual Studio Express 2015 for Windows Desktop (PHP 7.0.x & PHP 7.1.x) already installed it
should compile a working PHP version within a few clicks.
If you prefer a lean build environment you can also use MS Visual C++ Build Tools 2015
instead of Visual Studio which can be found
here http://landinghub.visualstudio.com/visual-cpp-build-tools .
Please note that PHP 7.0.x and 7.1.x require VC++ 14.0 (= Visual Studio 2015 editions) while PHP 7.2.x requires VC++ 15.0 (= Visual Studio 2017 editions).
The main reason (for me) is to compile up to date versions of the php_excel extension for Windows which can be found here https://github.com/iliaal/php_excel .
