    PHP Install on Win XP

    Hi,
    Please bear with me as I'm a newbie at this.
    I'm trying to install PHP on my Win XP Pro machine. I've read many web sites
    giving installation instructions but can't seem to get it working. Is there
    somebody who could give me clear instructions on how to install and
    configure it?

    From what I've read, I've been able to do everything that seems to have to
    be done except for one thing. I'm using an NTFS file system and I've read
    that I must go to the PHP directory, select Properties and go to the
    Security tab. The problem is, I don't see a Security tab and therefore can't
    proceed.

    There may be other problems with my configuration so if anyone who could
    walk me through or point me to a good site that will do so it would be
    greatly appreciated.

    Thanks in advance.

    David G.

      As far as the security tab is concerned, it is not displayed by default
      under Windows XP. You have to go to open the directory that contains the
      directory that you want to modify and select Folder Options from the
      Tools menu. Select the View tab and scroll all the way down. Uncheck the
      last option called "Use simple file sharing(Recomme nded)". Now get the
      properties for the PHP directory and you are now able to get the
      security tab and change the permissions on it like in Windows 2000.
      Other than that, just make sure your installation of Apache is
      working(or IIS if you're using IIS) and use the installer to install
      PHP. It should take care of the rest for you. Good luck.
