If you don't want to clutter your system with php files the following instructictions should work with all webservers.
1. Unpack php distro to a dir say 'c:\php' 2. Create php-<sapi>.ini in your windows folder based on php.ini-dist 3. Add c:\php to your path (this may require reboot depending on windows version) 4. Configure your web server. Of course 4. is server specific, but it should not be too complicated for the most commonly used servers. For php4 you need to add: 1b. copy c:\php\dlls\*.* c:\php Edin
