I ran a test with a different server (OmniHTTPd Professional). I get a CGI Launch Error when I try to open test.php

I also should mention that PHP is installed as CGI. I have yet to try the SAPI approach.

Feel like I'm hitting my head against a brick wall trying to get PHP to run on Windows 98.
🙁

    When you used Apache, was php installed as a cgi or a module? It sounds like a cgi. I don't know why it took me so long to realize that. 🙁 Module is best but if you want to use the cgi, you need to put a shebang line at the top of all of your scripts.

    #!C:\path\to\php

    Don't put .exe at the end of php.

      I used the PHP Triad Console to install Apache as a service; the test still failed.

      I copied the shebang line into test.php; the test failed.

        Hrm . . . What did you do? Here is a full php-cgi script:

        #!C:\path\to\php
<?php
print("Hello people.");
?>

          #!C:\path to php
          <?php
          phpinfo();
          ?>

            Hrm . . . This is one of those times when I wish I had access . . . Ah well. So, mod_php is not installed?

              There is no mod_php statement in httpd.conf

                Let me know if mod_php gives you the same trouble.
