installing php to work w/Apache 2.2 on Vista

[Jeffrey87]

Hi,

I got Apache2.2 installed and am now trying to get some version of php to work with it. But so far have been unsuccessful.

I tried following the advice here:

 

http://www.devshed.com/c/a/Apache/Creating-a-VAMP-Vista-Apache-MySQL-PHP-Setup/2/

 

however this did not work (though I followed each step exactly as written).

 

In a nutshell, anything running on Apache is not recognizing the php pages. The browser pops up a message saying "what application do you want to use to open this incomprehensible mishmash?" Maybe someone has used php on Apache2.2/Vista and has wrestled with this before.  Any php version is fine with me, though I'd really like to stick with Apache 2.2 because that's what I've got up and running (not a minor task in itself!).

 

Thanks for any help
