Install PHP5 with Apache on Win7 PC

I have installed Apache 2.2 and PHP5 in my laptop. Apache seems to work fine. When I view a php page the text in the html body section displays fine but the php section does not get displayed at all. I am thinking I must have missed some entry in the apache config file to tell it where PHP is installed?

Apache c:\server\apache2 PHP c:=Program Files\PHP

simple example

    <html>
    <body>
     See this line
     <?php
     echo "Hello World";
     ?>
     </body>
     </html>

Can anyone offer some suggestion?

Thanks Dan

Just install http://www.zend.com/en/products/server-ce/ or http://www.wampserver.com/en/ and be done with it.

EDIT: Thanks for the tip, markus.

You need to tell Apache to load the php5 module and the mime types. In httpd.conf add:

LoadModule php5_module "c:/path/to/php5apache2_2.dll"
AddHandler application/x-httpd-php .php

then restart Apache.

see: http://php.net/manual/en/install.windows.apache2.php

Alternatively just use a pre-configured solution like WAMP
