Hi I am newbie to php.  
I have gone through the tutorial on this website for installing the php and Apache.  
Everything is fine,but when I test the sample php program it will not show anything on the screen.it will force to download the source php file.  
I have installed php-5.0.0-Win32 in D:\web. And Apache2 in D:\web.  
I have not extracted the php.ini file.whether I should extrct the php.ini file?  
If so where I have to extract and what modifications should I do?  
please help,

Thanks.
