You'd likely do better asking this question in our Microsoft forum, as the general advice here (due to our "natural loyalties") is likley to be "Don't do it!" :)

If you have a pure-HTML static site, then the answer is likely to be simple: Copy all the files over, and use the IIS "control panel" to set up the site.

If, however, you have lots of server-side-include code, CGI scripts, and PHP code, then you will need to rewrite all that code into .asp or some other language that is supported on IIS servers. So, this could be a two hour project or a two-year project, depending on the specifics of the site itself.

No reason to re-code to ASP, PHP runs on IIS. You just need to configure IIS to tell it where to point to for processing .php files (may be automatic when installing PHP on your server).
