Installing PHP

Hey, I am new to these forums and to PHP. I really want to begin to learn this stuff.

I just want some help on how to Install PHP on my computer. I have a Dell that is Running Windows XP home. I installed all the binaries and stuff from PHP.com, but now I am lost on what to do.

Can anyone please guide me on what I should do now?

you need 3 things for great php work

Apache HTTP Server
PHP (Use Zipped version !!! )
MySQL Database

Remeber... installation for PHP is very well documented on http://php.net

Note... U should use PHP4... Even thou php5 is already out --- its still not stable and secure..
So better use php4... especially in the production enviroments...
