## Parameters

details

  An array of service details:

  service

    The short name of the service. This is the name that you will use to control the service using the net command. The service must be unique (no two services can share the same name), and, ideally, should avoid having spaces in the name.

  display

    The display name of the service. This is the name that you will see in the Services Applet.

  user

    The name of the user account under which you want the service to run. If omitted, the service will run as the LocalSystem account. If the username is specified, you must also provide a password.

  password

    The password that corresponds to the user.

  path

    The full path to the executable module that will be launched when the service is started. If omitted, the path to the current PHP process will be used.

  params

    Command line parameters to pass to the service when it starts. If you want to run a PHP script as the service, then the first parameter should be the full path to the PHP script that you intend to run.

  load_order

    Controls the load_order. This is not yet fully supported.

  svc_type

    Sets the service type. If omitted, the default value is `WIN32_SERVICE_WIN32_OWN_PROCESS`. Don't change this unless you know what you're doing.

  start_type

    Specifies how the service should be started. The default is `WIN32_SERVICE_AUTO_START` which means the the service will be launched when the machine starts up.

  error_control

    Informs the SCM what it should do when it detects a problem with the service. The default is `WIN32_SERVER_ERROR_IGNORE`. Changing this value is not yet fully supported.

machine

  The optional machine name on which you want to create a service. If omitted, it will use the local machine.

## Return Values

Returns `TRUE` on success, otherwise returns a win32 error code.
