PHP on MS Windows is not my thing, but I've not seen a reply so I'll try
to give some pointers.

Firstly, does and ordinary .html file work correctly? This is just to
check the webserver is working.

The fact that you have a LoadModule line tells us you have PHP
configured as a DSO rather than CGI, so you do not need the doc_root
setting in php.ini (according to the text in php.ini).

Presumably you have set DocumentRoot in httpd.conf (to c:\apache\htdocs
?). Also, just checking, the doc_root you give has "apche" rather than
"apache", is this just a typo on your email?

Getting a blank screen I seem to remember has come up before with PHP on
MS Windows, you could search the bugs at http://bugs.php.net for and
answer. It would also be a good idea to search the archives of  this
list (available at http://lists.php.net but do not seem to be
searchable, though a searchable one is at http://marc.theaimsgroup.com
).

You could also search the php-windows list (at the same urls), or if all
else fails, post there. Have you tried a google search?

Hope this helps
