Why can't I see windows binaries for PHP in the download page?

I am trying to install PHP as an Apache module on my new Windows 7 machine. As per the manual, I am supposed to download VC6 x86 Thread safe binary for PHP 5.3 from http://windows.php.net/download/. Strangely, I am not able to see VC6 binaries for PHP 5.3 on that page. VC6 binaries are only available for PHP 5.2.x series. The dropdown menu at the top d开发者_JAVA技巧oes show the VC6 binaries for PHP 5.3 but nothing happens when I select that option. What am I missing ?

VC6 binaries don't exist anymore -- it's been the case since PHP 5.3.6, which was released yesterday.

Quoting the announcement of PHP 5.3.6 :

Windows users: please mind that we do no longer provide builds created with Visual Studio C++ 6.
It is impossible to maintain a high quality and safe build of PHP for Windows using this unmaintained compiler.

For Apache SAPIs (php5_apache2_2.dll), be sure that you use a Visual Studio C++ 9 version of Apache. We recommend the Apache builds as provided by ApacheLounge.
For any other SAPI (CLI, FastCGI via mod_fcgi, FastCGI with IIS or other FastCGI capable server), everything works as before.
Third party extension providers must rebuild their extensions to make them compatible and loadable with the Visual Studio C++9 builds that we now provide.
