Is there a reason you need a 64 bit Windows version of Apache and PHP?
Is there some feature there you need that doesn't exist in the 32 bit
versions?
If not, I would suggest you stick with the Win32 bit versions of both.
The 64 bit versions don't give you much of a performance advantage, and
as you found out, PHP isn't fully supported (especially add-on modules,
which may not be available). If you really need the 64 bit version, I
recommend installing Linux, which has great support for both 32 and 64
bit versions.
