There are new builds of PHP 7-dev for windows. Those builds are not meant for production. The x64 version supports 64 bit integers on Windows.
Those builds require VC11.

On Linux some users reported as much as 100% performance gains vs. other versions of php.

php7apache2_4.dll is included as well as a set of most used extensions.

Sounds good, did you do any performance tests on Windows?

Why did you only compile ts builds?

That's correct those are official dev builds.

I will post some windows performance tests in a few days.

The reason there are only ts builds right now is because this is the safest way to run php on windows and in the development stage programmers need to rule out any system instability related to handling not-safe threads.

Anatol has been doing some great work with Thread Local Storage (under the native-tls branch).

I have tested it on Windows and its performance and functionality are now the same as master builds (with phpng), though a few extensions included with Windows builds haven't been ported yet.

Performance results are here:
http://windows.php.net/downloads/snaps/ostc/pftt/perf/ including
http://windows.php.net/downloads/snaps/ostc/pftt/perf/results-20141028-master_r87c28cc-native_tls_r5747327-7146.html

Note: the master and native-tls builds for Windows have lower performance than 5.5 or 5.6 builds because 5.6 and 5.6 builds are optimized builds (using Profile Guided Optimization) which is not currently done for master or native-tls builds.

For people that cannot wait, I compiled what could be compiled:
https://phpdev.toolsforresearch.com/php7dev-native-tls-nts-Win32-VC11-x86.zip
https://phpdev.toolsforresearch.com/php7dev-native-tls-Win32-VC11-x86.zip

I did not test anything yet, except that the extensions loaded when PHP was running on the command-line.

Edit: a better way to go to the dev builds is this one:
http://windows.php.net/downloads/snaps/

Or, in general: http://windows.php.net/downloads/

I wasn't able to run the dev builds from php.net the x86 zip was broken and the x64 did not run over fcgid. Now your x86 TS runs. So I give it a shot.

Great performance improvement! in the mean time I also compiled the master from these sources:
http://windows.php.net/downloads/snaps/master/refe9cc3/

These ones did not even run php-cgi phpinfo.php from the command line. Complaints: cannot allocate 4GB of memory or just a Error 500.

https://phpdev.toolsforresearch.com/php7dev-master-Win32-VC11-x86.zip

try running the TS version as mod_php. The php7apache2_4.dll might do the trick.

I'm away from mod_php. Since some time I use fcgid only with the TS x86 version. With 4 or 8 cpu cores it was the best solution I found for me. I don't see a reason why I should switch back to the module.

I took another shot at compiling PHP7. For anyone that wants to test it:

https://phpdev.toolsforresearch.com/php-7.0.0-dev-nts-Win32-VC11-x86.htm
https://phpdev.toolsforresearch.com/php-7.0.0-dev-nts-Win32-VC11-x86.zip

https://phpdev.toolsforresearch.com/php-7.0.0-dev-Win32-VC11-x86.htm
https://phpdev.toolsforresearch.com/php-7.0.0-dev-Win32-VC11-x86.zip

php7apache2_2.dll and php7apache2_4.dll are in the TS build, so maybe it also loads as mod_php in Apache.

Edit: It really loads as mod_php in a VC11 x86 Apache. Code for the conf something like:
Code:
PHPINIDir "/phpdev/php70.x86/"
LoadModule php7_module "/phpdev/php70.x86/php7apache2_4.dll"

Notice the 'php7_module'. My first test failed because I was still using 'php5_module'.

I take it the release date of a stable PHPNG (7) will be some point this year since that is usualy the time it takes them before they release a new PHP version ?

The target is Mid October 2015
https://wiki.php.net/rfc/php7timeline

I guess if they are going to make it. They are still heavily discussing features:
https://wiki.php.net/rfc

And there are still a lot of changes going on in the PHP core. For instance this week ereg and php_mysql.dll were removed from the core. Both were deprecated:
https://wiki.php.net/rfc/remove_deprecated_functionality_in_php7

Luckily they converted ereg and mysql to PHP7 before removing it from the master, so I can still build them. Expect a php_ereg.dll for PHP7.

Does that include php_mysqli.dll ?

I only use mysqli never use mysql.dll

I do hope it gets released soon looking forward to seeing how much of a speed boost i can actualy squeeze out of it.

//EDIT : found it myself.
(since PHP 5.5; use ext/mysqli or ext/pdo_mysql instead)

Check my builds. They are up-to-date with the latest sources (from this morning).

The core extensions should all work. But others I did not test. For instance: php_uploadprogress.dll compiles for PHP7, but there is a fair chance that it does not work. I updated php_ffmpeg.dll to PHP7 myself which was no easy job.

Upgrading php_uploadprogress.dll to PHP7 proved to be easy:

For testing on Windows you can use my builds. For testing on Linux, try a 'Rasmus approved' Vagrant box. See the talk he has just held at the PHP Australia conference:

If i remove extension=php_curl.dll it works fine not sure why curl is causing a crash.

But the good news is it gave me a heads up for those of us who use joomla that the latest joomla version is not compatible with PHP7 what means we either wait for Joomla to rewrite some of their core functions or we can do it ourselves.

Could you try the same with the 'official' snapshots? For instance these:
http://windows.php.net/downloads/snaps/master/rc9f27ee/

Edit: and try to avoid those error messages in the screenshot.

For the zip's listed there what is the difference between the master and the test pack. I can tell the debug pack is obviously for debugging but those other two ?

I also wounder if those snaps have profile guided optimization like the regular php builds.

You will have to use the master zip. And as far as I know, these snaps do not have PGO yet, but a phpinfo() will tell you (check the configure line).
