PHP5 with cygwin and apache2

I want to make my laptop test environment as much as possible look like my server environment, but I do not want to install linux on my laptop. I probably should use a different pc with linux on it. I know.

Nowadays, it is actually relatively easy to install php5.2 via cygports. Just follow directions from cygport and add the following to httpd.conf /etc/apache2/httpd.conf:

LoadModule php5_module "C:/Program Files/php/php5apache2_2.dll"
