PHP 5.5.0RC1 was announced.
http://www.php.net/

If you want to test PHP 5.5.0, but are missing extensions, you may find them in my 5.5 builds:
https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/8954372/php-5.5.0RC1-nts-Win32-VC11-x86.zip
https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/8954372/php-5.5.0RC1-Win32-VC11-x86.zip

Or you may want to try the x64 builds, which I am uploading right now:
https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/8954372/php-5.5.0RC1-nts-Win32-VC11-x64.zip
https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/8954372/php-5.5.0RC1-Win32-VC11-x64.zip

In line with the official builds I have used VC11 as well. The x64 builds contain a working php_opcache.dll.

Beware: in PHP 5.5's php.ini you do not have to add a path in the zend_extension statements:

zend_extension=php_opcache.dll
zend_extension=php_xdebug.dll # load this one after opcache

Thanks Jan,

unfortunately it does not even spawn the php process. Apache hangs/error loops with

[Mon May 13 14:58:21 2013] [error] (OS 193)%1 ist keine zulässige Win32-Anwendung. : mod_fcgid: can't run C:/webserver/php5fcgi/php-cgi.exe

I just tried to open a simple page with phpinfo() Sad

i used the nts version as always under XP and the latest VC11 redist and your x86 build php-5.5.0RC1-nts-Win32-VC11-x86.zip
Replacing the the 5.5 with the latest 5.4 does work again.


In the evening, i can try the same under Win7. Maybe this is the only problem

PHP 5.5 does not support XP anymore. If it runs, you're just lucky.

Is it backwards compatible with scripts that work fine with PHP 5.4?

It should be. The PHP developers have put a lot of effort in backwards compatibility. If you run into a BC break, please report it.
