Install PHP 4 on Win XP Pro with IIS

[psgarcha]

hello all
I have installed PHP using Windows PHP installer . I have made the changes in the php.ini file as suggested. Also I have placed the .dll file in the c:/windows/system32 folder.

I still cannot get the phpinfo() page to work. The compiler cannot detect the .php extention. I am sure I am missing something here. Please help me out. Thanks in advance

Hello ppl,

I have still not been able to figure out why my installation does not work. I'd appreciate any help.

Thanks

Why not take the big step and install the binaries instead?

Pushpinder, as an easier alternative to IIS setup of PHP, try http://badblue.com - free web server for Windows designed for PHP. Only 400K download. Click the help tab, select PHP Wizard, then follow the Wizard. It takes about 45 seconds total.

Only installs to a single folder so easy to remove if needed. But basically the fastest way to get PHP up on XP that I've seen, and compatible with Apache from a PHP programming standpoint - meaning the environment variables are supported like Apache, which IIS won't exactly match...
