I'm a begging and I'm installing PHP but I'm Having problems cause I already have a XAMPP console already installed and its telling me I have to manually have to configure php with my web server so,
A: which server should I choose(I was thinking Apache cause I already have it installed through XAMPP?
B: How do I go about configuring PHP to work with every thing else I already have installed?
C:I also have Dreamweaver CS3, could this be causing the problem also?
Please help I really want to learn this
Thank You

Re: Instaling PHP and Chosing right web server
You might want to review how you installed xampp. I recently put xampp on windows 7 and didn't have to do any extra configuring to get php to work.

$to = "you@you.com";
$subject = "Form Tutorial";
$name_field = $_POST['name'];
$email_field = $_POST['email'];
$message = $_POST['message'];
$body = "From: $name_field\n E-Mail: $email_field\n Message:\n $message";
echo "Data has been submitted to $to!";
