Hi Everyone,

Can Somebody tell me how to install the php on my server. I would like to know how to install php on a windows XP operating system.  
By the way I am not a php programmer so if the tutorial you submit, is easy, that would really be appreciated.

Many thanks…

Do you own this server? Do you have administrator rights for this server? You can’t just install PHP on a shared host.  
If you do have these rights just download the installer from [PHP.net](http://PHP.net) and run it… I presume you want to use it with IIS? I think this is a good start: [http://www.macromedia.com/devnet/mx/dreamweaver/articles/php\_iis.html](http://www.macromedia.com/devnet/mx/dreamweaver/articles/php_iis.html)
