Newbie question - stuck installing w.php

Hi,
Im new to this stuff. I've installed the newest Apache on my Win xp
system, edited the config file, tried to start the server and it
always says failed. It might be because I have stuff running like
provoxy and tor, I dunno. I tried an older Apache and it works, i get
the test page when I go to 127.0.0.1. Now I tried to install PHP. I
think I did the install ok because Apache monitor says"Apache/
2.0.59(Win32)PHP/5.2.1". I have an index.php "hello world" file to
test the php install but it doesn't say directory to put it in. What
directory do I put this file in so I can see it when I go to
127.0.0.1. Thanks.

That would most likely be the same directory as you have specified in
your DocumentRoot in your httpd.conf

Well yes, ok. Perhaps my approach is slightly over-engineered.

if you're new, just go get xampp for windows, and learn how it works
as you use it.
