I've downloaded the php web server from php.net now how to install it on my computer i already installed IIS.
PHP itself technically is not a "server". Rather, it's designed to talk to a web server. It also gets along much more nicely with Apache than it does with IIS.
There IS a "windows installer" available from the PHP site, which will install as a CGI program, not a server module. Which may be more than adequate for testing purposes. I believe it configures IIS for you (though it won't configure Apache if you go that route; you'd still have to edit Apache's configuration files).
You can also auto-install Apache, MySQL, and PHP in one swoop using XAMPP

You're running a server on XP?

You want simple.. You got simple!
installing and configuring PHP on windows is a real pain, and even though i have years experience on the language, i still have NO CLUE on how to do it without referring to books and manuals.
so here's a solution.. download WAMP.

this brilliant little application is a combination of Apache/PHP/mySQL all rolled into a neat little installer. once u've installed it, everything is ready to go out of the box.
Should you need to tune it a little, all shortcuts to your config files are readily available from your taskbar.
trust me.. this is all you need. forget IIS!!!
