PWS seems to cause no end of problems for people trying to use it with PHP. It may be worth your while (and your sanity) to download and install Apache 1.3. Do not try and use Apache 2 as this will cause you twice as many headaches as PWS has.

I use PWS/PHP on Win98 with no problem.
First, get PWS working before you add PHP. Only install the minimum amount you need. ie. choose Advanced, and untick everything that you can.
PWS has built in processing for ASP and you can try a simple "Hello World" script first.
The visual directory alias is very easy to use (Server Manager -> Advanced). Set-up a Web folder in My Documents, and use this as the root. Then there is no publishing to be done, just change you scripts and refresh your browser.
Then you can add PHP. Use the installer as this sets everything up for you. And away you go!
