Let's say if you are using Aapche web server 2.0.42 and your XP is located onto c:\windows
1. copy d:\php\php4ts.dll to c:\windows\system32 2. copy d:\php\php.ini-dist to c:\wiindows and rename it to php.ini 3. edit php.ini ... extension_dir = c:/php/extensions upload_tmp_dir = c:\temp session.save_path = c:\temp and then save it. 4. Once you installed your Apache web server. You still need to edit httpd.conf file. LoadModule php4_module c:/php/sapi/php4apache2.dll DocumentRoot "D:/Apache2/htdocs" DirectoryIndex index.html index.html.var index.php # To use PHP scripts AddType application/x-httpd-php .php AddType application/x-httpd-php-source .phps 5. create one sample php file called test.php <? phpinfo(); ?> and put it in "D:/Apache2/htdocs/test.php" 6. Now, it's time to run it. You your Internet brower and type it "localhot/test.php". Good luck "Douglas F.
