The problem is that I’m trying to keep track of the exact URL a person selects including the request parameter. That is, I have a URLs that can be played as follows:
http://video.peterkellner.net/TestPage.html?src=P1_Intro.wmv
http://video.peterkellner.net/TestPage.html?src=P2_BasicRIANoTooling.wmv
I’ve actually got 7 videos that I want people to be able to play. The problem is that my web statistics tracker is going to count all videos as coming from TestPage.html and I will not be able to tell which video is getting how much traffic. What I’d really like is have unique landing pages for each one that I can put links to on my blog, and then have those tracked separately.

Found this link: Install PHP with Microsoft Web Platform Installer 2.0
Step 3: Go Here and try again: http://php.iis.net/
