My personal recommendation to you would be to install Apache on Windows with the relevent PHP download, remember that certain features of PHP won't work though a CGI executable with I believe is still the only stable way of running PHP though IIS. I normally have IIS running on a port other than 80 which allows me0 to have both the IIS and Apache available simultaniously. Hope some of this helps. Regards Lee
