Apache/PHP configuration problem.

I've gotten the two to work on my win32 platform with just a couple of lines added to my httpd.conf file... so I shouldn't be that far off getting this thing to work. I've compiled (after much ado in solaris.. installing compilers, getting paths right, etc) PHP.. and i have apache running. I've added a few lines to the apache /etc/apache/httpd.conf.. such as addtype, etc. now i tried to add an action line, in order for the server to know what to do with the recently added "addtype" extensions.. php, php4, etc. doesn't work. i dont quite know whats wrong with it. anyone using it in this way? i can successfully execute php files at the command line with the php binary, and it outputs what it should, so i know it works, and i know my apache works.. its just getting the two together. i would greatly appreciate an answer.. if anyone out there has the time to reply to my posting :)
