If this is your first Apache install and your anxious to get to developing ... Go to apachefriends.org and download Xampp. That'll hook you up with apache, PHP, Perl, Mysql and phpMyadmin and more....

thanks for the great posts,
well i did download xampp and finally got it to work after many hours,
probably my own ingnorance about the program was part to blame for the delay, but there was very insufficient directs about using the program for PHP and i got some help from some good people on how to make it work,
can't wait to start learning and playing around with php,
