| I installed apache 2.0 and PHP5 (and MySQL). All the checks seem to indicate
that all is working fine but for the following that I may be
misunderstanding.
I winexplore to where I have made 1. today.php and 2. welcome.php. When I
double click on them I get a windows popup saying that windows cannot open
this file, what do you wannto do? And wants to set up extension directive.
If I click open with "Internet Explorer" then I get the non-php stuff to
display but the php parts are not showing up.
A. Am I really using the server on my XP machine to play things by clicking
on abc.html files ? How about abc.php files?
B. If something is incorrectly set up, where would I look to check it out
and fix it up ?
I have run many checks and all check out ok. Like php -i, shows all is well
at running. i.e. no errors. I can start and stop apache.

localhost/phpinfo.php
and you should see lots of information regarding the php ...
