Ok firstly you need Apache installed you should get Apache 1.3

http://httpd.apache.org

Secondly there is a PHP .exe file that you can download [http://www.php.net/get/php-4.3.6-installer.exe/from/a/mirror]

From there you will need to open the httpd.conf file located in the conf folder where you installed Apache and add the following

ScriptAlias /php/ "c:/php/"
AddType application/x-httpd-php .php .phtml
Action application/x-httpd-php "/php/php.exe"

Change the c:/php/

To the directory where PHP has been installed

Also find the DocumentIndex and add index.php at the end of the list

Restart the server

I am trying to install Apache so far but I could n't understand the procedure of installing Apache.

I have installed IIS 5.1 on WinXP. How can I use this with PHP?

Thanks
