I had success installing PHP on windows with chocolatey, the package manager for windows. As of this comment, the version choco provided was 8.2.7, which is the latest.
One command from an elevated powershell: 'choco install php'

If you want to setup PHP, some common PHP applications and are using IIS, the easiest way is to use Microsoft's Web Platform Installer (WebPI).
XAMPP, WampServer and BitNami will setup PHP applications for use with Apache on Windows.

Highly suggest installing winget from the Windows Store (Called "App Installer" there) and using `winget install php` from the terminal. Easiest way in my opinion
