LoadModule

I am a newbie. I am setting up an environment where I can learn PHP. To do
this I have an XP PRO machine with MySql, Apache2.2 and PHP5. To get Apache
to route PHP requests to PHP5 parser a LoadModule instruction must be added
in the httpd.conf file. I just can not find (or understand) how to get the
php5apache.dll to fit into the new LoadModule instruction. At this stage I
need a step by step instruction. Can anyone point me to page where this is
explained since I do not understand the instructions on www.Apache.org or
forward the instructions?

Thanks

Paul

You're welcome. I remember it took me a while to get PHP to work with
Apache and MySQL, but it's been so long that I don't remember what the
specific problem or solution was. I'm afraid if I touch it now I'll
break it and have to figure it out all over again!
