Hi,  
You need to add the following lines to httpd.conf (If you’re using Apache for Win32)

ScriptAlias /php/" c:/path-to-php-dir/"  
AddType application/x-httpd-php .php  
Action application/x-httpd-php “/php/php.exe”

Then restart Apache and it should interpret php files correctly.

For more information on installing Apache with php look at the following manual page:
