PHP Manager is a useful tool for configuring PHP in IIS. It is no longer supported, however, and a Registry trick is required to install it.
Overview
PHP Manager allows you to configure multiple versions of PHP for multiple VHosts on an IIS server. While it adds some overhead to the configuration, it can be used locally. It should NOT be used for Production machines.
Note: You will need local Admin rights in order to change the registry
