Well, my intent was not to be blase' at all, and I apologize if that came across...
And though I would never relate the same intimations to a client, I would point out to a client, that if they are requesting a Windows environment, and FrontPage Extensions, then the need for Apache is then obviated 🙂
IIS is already built in (if NT/win2k or xp) - any other win platform would not be suitable, and you are ready to just configure the IIS web server, tie in the extensions, and voila, ur up and running.
Php can then be setup via the Services/Management Console, if not present, goto Add/Remove Programs|Add/Remove Windows Components|Internet Information Services|Front Page Extensions, click add, and then supply the disc to the CD drive.

I "assumed" that what he was trying to do was setup for local testing, forgive me.
For local testing of PHP, he needn't have to worry about FP ext.'s if running Apache, because there is not that support for Apache on the Win Platform (AFAIK - though i could be wrong) but know that the extensions can be installed for use on the Unix platform via contributed distributions.
Sorry about that, hope that was more clear.
If however, Ricardo, you ARE wishing to use Apache + PHP (and are merely "using" the Win platform, as I do, for convenience) then, I believe my earlier statements hold true.
In that case, you needn't worry about the FP extensions, unless you are trying to replicate how the FP extensions would work through the Win OS, if so, then the IIS route would be much simpler 🙂
