You do not need to call php.exe
as long as you have configured both apache and php correctly during setup you just need to call http://<hostname>/file.php3
create a file called test.php3 and ave it in your root web directory. Type the following code into it:
<?
phpinfo();
?>
Now access it using http://<hostname>/test.php3 and if you get a load of information about the php installation on your server, it works ok.
