Apache Server doesn't seem to see PHP - What's Wrong?

My machine is a Window box running Win XP. I thought I've done all
corerctly to configure both PHP 5.0 and Apache 2.2 4 only to see
Firefox display the PHP/HTML code rather than content, and Internet
Explorer is even worse ---not displaying anything at all.

This is what I've done to configure both software:

PHP
-------
1. I have unzipped intp C::\PHP folder a PHP 5.0. In the php.ini
file,
2. I setup the PHP extension to point to the correct directory, i.e.
extension_dir = "C:\PHP\ext";
3. Copied a copy of the file (php.ini) to Windows directory; and,
4. Added the path information to the System Variable

Apache:
------------
I wanted to configure it to load the PHP interpreter as an Apache
module, so what I did was

1. Add the these lines
LoadModule php5_module "c:/php/php5apache2.dll"
2. and:
AddType application/x-httpd-php .php

When I encountered the problem I stated at the benning, I stopped the
Appache Server, then restart again, and in the DOS window it displays
an error saying

Cannot Load C:/PHP/php5apache2.dll into server: The specified
module could not be found.

Well, I don't know what to do here. Can anybody help?

thank you.

I'm facing similar problem in Linux. :-(

For Windows, use Xampp:

For Linux, use Xampp for Linux (Lampp):

Makes configuring Apache, PHP, MySQL, and FTP easy.
