My PHP Development Setup

Another commentator mentioned xampp.

For developers on Windows, I think Uniform Server[0] is really good. It's completely portable and gives the full stack as well.

While I used Uniform Server for many years, unfortunately it's long unmaintained and adding recent PHP versions isn't trivial.

My setup was so customized over years that I ended up just building simple custom stack from scratch (using Composer to manage dependencies) rather than struggle with choosing off-the-shelf replacement and tweaking it.

There's https://laragon.org/ not only for PHP, easy to manage. Using it for last 1,5 year now.

Too bad that it is shipping only PHP5.x

That might be. But you can add PHP 7.0 if you so wish http://www.uniformserver.com/ZeroXI_documentation/plugins_de...

That's still pretty terrible. The version of "7.0.0" they have is actually a development preview from mid-2015, not a release version. The PHP 7.0 branch went end-of-life last month, along with 5.6; the current stable branch is 7.3.
