getting started, php and apache on windows

Post by unclematty »

i have apache installed on my XP box. It was installed with Oracle 9i. I also have dreamweaver and would like to get into php.

Is there anything else that I need to run php on my box? If not, then how do you enable php in apache? Once enabled, how does apache know that it should handle the request instead of IIS?

I know that IIS works from the inetpub/wwwroot folder, but what about apache? Should there be another folder for it?

Thanks
