Lines that start with a # have been commented out so the Apache will just ignore these. The lines which start with AddType need to be added but so you can just delete the # from the start of the lines below ehere it says "For PHP 4.x". Any of the extensions in the list at the end of the line will be recognised as PHP files. As you can see, all .html files will be processed by the PHP application as well. Although this will work, you might like to delete .html from the list and let apache handle these. You can also add extensions to that list and any file ending in that will be processed as if it was a PHP file e.g. you could add .eeek and all files that end in .eeek would be processed by PHP! I think that you may have to add another line to the configuration file as well to tell it to use c:\php\php.exe for PHP files. This should be mentioned in the install.txt if you do (I used the server module thing, not the CGI program). If this line isnt added to httpd.conf, I think you can add a line at the start of every PHP file to tell it what program to use. Its something like #!c:/php/php.exe (as you do in perl scripts) but look it up somewhere because I'm not sure.
Hope this helps a bit!
