Which version of PHP is best to use with moodle 2.2?

I am installing on a Windows 2003 Server, 32 bit version.  I will likely be using Apache 2.2.22, from this post. I will be setting up approx. 8 moodle instances in a vhost configuration.  I am not using a WAMP solution, but downloading separatly.

Thank you.

Hello James,

I suggest PHP 5.3. Under Windows Server I would definitely suggest Zend Server, which allows easier maintenance of PHP directives and monitoring. You can also choose between Apache and IIS (Zend Server includes Apache in case you need it).

Thanks Howard, http://docs.moodle.org/22/en/Installing_Moodle#Software specifies at least php 5.3.2 or later for moodle 2.1.

I see the WAMP version of PHP is 5.3.10. 

I see on the PHP download page, version 5.4 (stable).

Is there good reason to not use 5.4?

WAMP is working very well.

I ended up going with PHP 5.3.17, because I ended up using WAMP 2.2, 32 bit version, which had that PHP version bundled in.
