Any ideas why this is happening?
Assuming, your Apache is configured to load the php module:
Your Apache is not configured to handle .php files. You need to add directives in httpd.conf for PHP files.
See PHP installation docs.

Thanks for your reply,
I have added the following lines to the beginning of httpd.conf
LoadModule php4_module c:/php/sapi/php4apache.dll AddModule mod_php4.c AddType application/x-httpd-php .php
But am still unable to view php files...
Any ideas?
did you install apache 1.x or 2.x? does http://127.0.0.1 or http://localhost show your apache-startpage? did you stop and restart apache after changing httpd.conf? did you copy php4ts.dll to one of the dirs as said in the manual? just some thoughts from me.
every time i install a new envionment i make a file to '/htdocs'-dir called 'phpinfo.php' with the following:
<?php phpinfo(); ?>
i call this file for testing: 'http://localhost/phpinfo.php'. this file will also be vey useful when developing new scripts.
