  cgi.fix_pathinfo = 1
  cgi.force_redirect = 0
  short_open_tag = On
  extension_dir = "C:\<path_to_folder>\PHP\ext"
  upload_tmp_dir="C:\inetpub\temp"
  session.save_path="C:\inetpub\temp"
  allow_call_time_pass_reference = On
  display_errors = On
  

  
  
  Note: In Bitrix24 Self-hosted <? is used instead of <?php.
  
  
  Note: inetpub means a location where sites will be placed. This folder exists by default.

Please do the following to check the PHP setup:

• Open command prompt window using the command cmd;
• Once in the command prompt window, go to a folder with PHP using the following command: cd C:\<path_to_folder>\PHP\;
• Give the command info to php: php –info.

If everything was done properly, the same configuration file will be offered (php.ini).
