PWS comes with Windows 98 (and possibly later versions of Windows), and
its setup program is usually installed in C:\Windows\Options\PWS (as I
recall). If you go that route, you should pick up the PHP installer for
IIS/PWS from http://php.weblogs.com.
However, unless you have a lot of involved pages (frames), it is probably
better to just get OmniHTTPD from http://www.omnicron.ab.ca
-- it comes
with PHP installed, and is easy to set up. It is a bit slower than PWS
(it runs PHP as a CGI), but it is more stable.
Later, Chris.
