If all you need to do is run scripts from the command line, simply
download and unzip the latest Php release to a folder of your choice (I
use C:\Php - or c:\Phpn.n for the version number). For your convenience
you may want to add the Php folder to the PATH environment variable.

If you want to use Php with an HTTP server (to serve web pages) you have
"a bit" more to do.

One "friendly" way to install it (along with web server, database, etc
if you need them too) is xampp

There is also Xampp Lite. This package contains a webserver, PHP and
MySQL, without a mailserver and FTP server. I have installed this
package on my workstation and use it to test my own developed websites
locally.

That provides binaries which I am not techie enough to use.
I need something that would install php in Windows 7.

??? The alternative is a binary is the source code. I think you DO want
a binary file. Did you follow the Download link? You will find Windows
installers there.

Binaries *are* for non-techies. It's "source" that you want to avoid.

If you want more advice, you need to be clearer about what you're trying
to achieve. Describe the PHP script(s) that you want to run.

I would advice to install Xampp Lite, as I already suggested in this
thread. That is a web server, PHP and MySQL. The latter you don't need.
All installs automatically and works well.
You can install PHP and in necessary Pearl manually, both have Windows
executable installers. But then you will need to install a web server
separately and configure this to run PHP (and Pearl) scripts.
