Stephen: I'm having exactly the same problems as Bud...and I *have* followed all Installation instructions (Numerous times) But my php files still are not parsed and are displayed as text only.
When I start the Apache server from the Apache icon (Not the short cut) It prints in the command prompt "Apache/1.3.27 <Win32> PHP/4.3.2 running..." So I feel like I've done something right. :) Any idea what I'm doing wrong? I'm on WinXP.
