Apache PHP Installation Issue

Problems installing php5.2.3 and Apache 2.2.4

[johnno123]

I had previous versions of PHP and Apache installed and working without any problems.

I've just reformatted my hard drive and am trying to get PHP and Apache happening again.

For the previous installation I used David Power's book "PHP for Dreamweaver 8" and that worked fine.

It doesn't work for the new versions however. I suspect that it is path issues but can't find where I've gone wrong.

Any suggestions on good tutorials for these versions would be appreciated.

Many thanks

Perhaps these, from our PHP forum library [webmasterworld.com]:

And make sure you use the correct PHP dll for Apache 2.2! It is often overlooked. See the PHP installation manual pages for more information.
[php.net...]
It's under the very first note!

you could also try something like xampp. (just do a search for xampp in google)
that will install a whole host of things for you and you'll have them up and running in five minutes -- apache, php, mysql, pear, phpmyadmin and even filezilla.
