What is Cygwin?
It is a POSIX-compatible environment that runs natively on Microsoft Windows. Its goal is to allow programs of Unix-like systems to be recompiled and run natively on Windows with minimal source code modifications by providing them with the same underlying POSIX API they would expect in those systems.
What is PHP?
Fast, flexible and pragmatic, PHP powers everything from your blog to the most popular websites in the world.
