why dont you get the phpdev bundle from www.firepages.com.au? Will save your time and you can have extras (if you want).
good luck

i'll assume you have php already installed to C:/php/
Find in the Apache httpd:

Code:

    ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ "C:/Program Files/Apache Group/Apache/cgi-bin/"

    <Directory "C:/Program Files/Apache Group/Apache/cgi-bin">
        AllowOverride None
        Options None
        Order allow,deny
        Allow from all
    </Directory>

and add the following below it:

Code:

    ScriptAlias /php/ "C:/php/" 

    #
    # "C:/php/" should be changed to whatever your ScriptAliased
    # PHP directory exists, if you have that configured.
    #
    <Directory "C:/php"> 
        AllowOverride None 
        Options None 
    </Directory> 

    AddType application/x-httpd-php .php .php3
    Action application/x-httpd-php "/php/php.exe"

As with the CGI directory the scriptAlias has a trailing / but the <Directory> doesn't.

save the changes and restart Apache.

The above installs PHP as CGI in Apache, which has a much more unreliable SAPI.
Better is to make PHP available through a module, which is done in the following manner:

first, go to your PHP directory and copy all dll's from the dlls directory to your System32 directory under Windows. Then, copy
the php4ts.dll from the PHP root dir, also to the System32 dir.

then, go to your httpd.conf file, and add the following lines:

Code:

### PHP module, adjust the path
LoadModule php4_module c:/php/sapi/php4apache.dll
AddModule mod_php4.c
AddType application/x-httpd-php .php .phtml .php3 
### only add the line below if you want files named .phps to be visible as source code
AddType application/x-httpd-php-source .phps

in your htttpd.conf file, look for :
(below is my path, yours is where you installed Apache)

DocumentRoot " c:\server\apache\htdocs"

change the path above to match the dir where your site is in.

and below that, the first :

<Directory "c:\server\apache\htdocs">

change the path above to match the dir where your site is in.

No worries

Go to www.mysql.com and download the latest Win32 Binary (it's in a zip file.) Install that, go to the bin directory in the directory in which you installed MySQL and run winmysqladmin.exe. (MySQL is not setup under Apache but under PHP and as of version 4, support for MySQL is built into PHP :-D )

You should see a traffic light icon that should be green. popping up in the system tray (where the clock is in windows :P). If not green, reboot and then it should work fine.
(rebooting, the mother of all debuggers

.
Then, double click that icon and it'll ask you for a username and password.
ALWAYS!! use root for username here and any password (don't leave it empty because root gives you full access to MySQL (including the Grant tabls, in wich user rights for MySQL are defined))

If you want to make it really easy for yourself, download phpMyAdmin and add the following lines to your httpd.conf:

Code:

### ajust the path accordingly to where you extracted phpMyAdmin
Alias /phpmyadmin/ "C:/server/phpmyadmin/"

    <Directory "C:/server/phpmyadmin">
        Options Indexes FollowSymlinks MultiViews
        AllowOverride None
        Order allow,deny
        Allow from all
    </Directory>

and in the config.inc.php file in the phpmyadmin dir, find what you see below and edit that to match your path (on the site, not on your harddrive, as seen below)

Code:

$cfgPmaAbsoluteUri = 'http://localhost:8000/phpmyadmin/';

Just below that line, you can enter your username (which is already set to "root" in the config.inc.php and the password for MySQL

Now your al done

any questions?

in your httpd.conf, you have to set the Directory index, which is now only index.html to:

Code:

<IfModule mod_dir.c>
    DirectoryIndex index.html index.php index.cgi
</IfModule>

or to whatever page you want your visitor to go to first

In your site: if you want 1 page to include all the other pages, you can use the include() function:

Code:

include("path/page1.php");
include("path/page2.php");
include("path/page3.php");
include("path/page4.php");

enz.
