You'll need to configure IIS to parse your PHP files. Use the instruction
below.
If you wonder which one to use isapi or CGI I'd say for home developement
it doesn't matter. CGI is said to be more stable but I had no problem with
the
isapi module with IIS. But anyway give it a thought to get Apache.
To test your installation just use your helloworld or create a file with
<?php phpinfo(); ?> in it.
hope it helps

IIS 4.0+ (isapi):
1. Copy the php.ini-dist to your systemroot (the directory where you
installed windows), rename it to php.ini, and
edit it to fit your needs
2. Start the Microsoft Management Console or the Internet Services Manager,
located in your Control Panel
3. Click on your webserver, and select properties
4. If you don't want to perform HTTP Authentication using PHP, you can (and
should) skip this step. Under ISAPI Filters,
add a new ISAPI filter. Use PHP as the filter name, and supply a path to the
php4isapi.dll
5. Under Home Directory, click on the Configuration button. Add a new entry
to the Application Mappings. Use the path the
php4isapi.dll as the Executable, supply .php as the extension, leave Method
exclusions, blank, and check the Script engine
checkbox
6. Stop IIS completely
7. Start IIS again
IIS 4.0+ (CGI)
1. Copy the php.ini-dist to your systemroot (the directory where you
installed windows), rename it to php.ini, and
edit it to fit your needs
2. Start the Microsoft Management Console (may appear as 'Internet Services
Manager', either in your Windows NT 4.0
Option Pack branch or the Control Panel->Administrative Tools under Windows
2000).
3. Right click on your Web server node (will most probably appear as
'Default Web Server'), and select 'Properties'.
4. Under 'Home Directory', click on the 'Configuration' button. Add a new
5. entry to the Application Mappings; Use the path to php.exe as the
Executable, supply .php as the extension, leave
'Method exclusions', blank, and check the Script engine checkbox.
6. Put a .php file under your Web server's document root and check if it
works!
