help in installation in PHP

Hello, i have a question about installing and making PHP work with window IE, i installed the latest PHP application onto a WINDOW XP pro version OS. i am not even sure i installed it right or not plus i don't know how to get window IE to recognize the php extension after i made a small script in php. the WINDOW IE won't read it. i downloaded the 5 meg zip file and exploded and also i download the installer. i am very stuck. should i get a book about php, i think i need to and i hope the book will help on explaining better than the web site, but i doubt that. SIncerely, christian -------------------------------------------------------------------- mail2web - Check your email from the web at http://mail2web.com/ .
