Adding AMPPS PHP installer to docs

Hmm, not sure whether that fits in here. After all, the others are package managers, but AMPPS is a MAMP stack. Furthermore, the others appear to be OSS, but AMPPS to be proprietary.

AMPPS is a mamp stack which has its own packaging system which allows users to one click install and update pre-compiled php packages.
Its proprietary. Not sure if only OSS can be added to this list ?

@WyriHaximus, since you've been involved in the latest update to this page (PR #116), what do you think about this?

@cmb69 It's a for-profit freemium tool; the rest are all OSS projects. I'm not sure if the PHP project should promote such tools before we have a position on it as a project.

I feel rather than promoting outdated OSS offering old versions of PHP, it would be better to promote a Freemium tool which offers latest versions of PHP.

Its just my opinion, I might be wrong.

Mac Ports offers 8.1: https://ports.macports.org/port/php/
But fink doesn't: https://pdb.finkproject.org/pdb/package.php/php8, https://pdb.finkproject.org/pdb/browse.php?summary=php

Most Mac users I know install PHP via homebrew.

Is there an official policy regarding this? For example, does the tool need to be open source in addition to being free?

No, I don't think there is any official policy. However, I wonder where we would stop? We could list XAMPP, WampServer, MAMP, and what not.

Maybe it's a good idea to discuss this on the documentation mailing list.

Does it make sense to keep the PR sitting around if there's no consensus on proprietary/freemium tools?

@cmb69 I propose that we remove the entire section as it no longer offers value as today's world is so different. In other words, remove https://www.php.net/manual/en/install.windows.tools.php

That's okay for me, but maybe others have objections (cc @jimwins).
