here i dont think my last reply worked so here it is again
i put that in like the tutorial said but i still get the file download screen.
just so your know the script i am trying to use is:
<?php
phpinfo() ;
?>

ty for trying to help me. people on other sites havent been any help

    #LoadModule php4_module e:/php/sapi/php4apache.dll
    #AddModule mod_php4.c
    #AddType application/x-httpd-php .php
    does it matter were i put it though?
    i just randomly placed it

      remove those # symbols before statements
      it doesnt matter where u put...
      Also change e:/php/sapi/php4apache.dll to your php directory

        php directory? mine is just saved at c:/php the goes through all the sub folders so do i just have to change it from c to e ?

          yeah... you should find php4apache.dll in c:\php\sapi\
          so just change e to c
          if that doesn work out give me the following details in your next post

          PHP Directory
          Apache Directory

            directory for which files ( sry im not quit sure i follow.)
            for php everything is saved under c:/php4.3/php-4.3.7-Win32/then so on
            that is what i changed it to in my httpd file
            for apache it c:/program files/apache group/ apache/ then so on
            like i said im not sure thats what your looking for though

              okay... now rename c:/php4.3/php-4.3.7-Win32/ to c:/php/

              and paste the following in your httpd file

              LoadModule php4_module c:/php/sapi/php4apache.dll
              AddModule mod_php4.c
              AddType application/x-httpd-php .php

              did u edit ur php.ini file?
              assign doc_root to your apache directory
              something like
              doc_root = "C:\Program Files\Apache Group\Apache\htdocs"

              remember there shouldnt be # before statements in httpd conf file and no ; before statements in php.ini

                i dont get the file download thing but i now get the cannot find server page.
                u mean no # at all because every line except the lines i put in have that in front of it.

                  when i go to restart apache though it tells me it cant load the php4apache file but im sure the directory is right

                  and now i do get the save the file thing again. i just dont get it

                    u mean no # at all because every line except the lines i put in have that in front of it.

                    Yeah no # symbols... # means comment... so Apache doesnt execute those lines... dont use # before the three lines of PHP module

                    when i go to restart apache though it tells me it cant load the php4apache but im sure the directory is right

                    goto php directory that you specified in httpd.conf and see if you can find php4apache.dll file in there

                      when i go to restart apache though it tells me it cant load the php4apache file but im sure the directory is right

                      and now i do get the save the file thing again. i just dont get it

                        yah i can find it but now i am going to try and go through the httpd.conf file and remove all of those # signs in front of every line

                          DONT remove # from every line...
                          only before the lines you added

                            well i am just going to try again start all over. how do i delete all the php files and installs on my system
