Help. Apache would server PHP files. I get a download. I have added the AddType application/x-httpd-php .php Action application/x-httpd-php "C:/php/php.exe".
Any ideas what the problem could be?

You could download a complete php / apache package here:

http://www.firepages.com.au/

Its free and pre-configured as far as I know

Try this

ScriptAlias /php/ "c:/php/"
AddType application/x-httpd-php .php
AddType application/x-httpd-php-source .phps
Action application/x-httpd-php "/php/php.exe"

when would u use phps? to see the source code of a php script?

Correct. It's easier than show_source() for most to just rename it ...

There are two lines you need to add to your httpd.conf. They are both clearly spelled out in the php installation docs. You need to make sure that the PHP module is loading, along with the content type setting you have apparently already made. You can generally search for "php" in your default httpd.conf file to find what you need to configure. Usually the commonly needed settings are in there and commented out, in an out-of-the-box apache configuration.

One more thing: You need to make sure that the <directory> block associated with the location of your php files is set to allow script execution. As I said before, the default config file should have an example (look for the cgi-script directory example).
