trouble installing PHP

Dear PHP -install@lists.php I am writing to you because I am at my wit's end as to how to get PHP working on my local machine The main problem is that Apache isn't seeing my PHP. Whenever I try to run a phpinfo() test file, all I get is a blank screen. When I right click within my browser, I can view the html + the php, but apparently the PHP never sees the file. My operating system is XP. I want (tried to) set this up so that I can develop on my local machine, before sending files to my web site. The version of PHP that I tried to install is the latest (php 4.3.0-win32) I already re-named the php.ini-dist file php.ini. I also moved that file to the c\windows directory. I also made the following changes to the Apache configuration file : Added : AddType application/x-httpd-php .php .phtml .html AddType application/x-httpd-php-source .phps This is my second attempt to install PHP. I originally downloaded what was supposed to be a complete Integrated Development Environment from PHPDEV. I have since deleted all those files, including complete installations of PHP and Apache, but whenever I double click on the PHP script interpreter, I get error messages that make reference to files that I have already deleted. So one of my questions is, WHERE can I make changes that reflect my current installation. (I have since downloaded Apache from their site, MYsql, and PHP from php.net) PLease help. I am about ready to quit Bob Teague
