I think you are missing the point. People will be MUCH more inclined 
to help you if YOU do some work up front. It helps if you do some due 
diligence by searching for the answers you need as well as reading 
whatever documentation is applicable. As the saying goes RTFM. If 
after doing so, you still have a problem, then it is time to ask a question.

You should tell us exactly what you are trying to do, what OS, what 
versions of software, is it from source or a binary package, and you 
should tell us precisely what you have done to attempt to resolve the 
problem. Posting a relevant portion of your httpd.conf is often very 
helpful and may get you a precise answer very quickly.

This is NOT a help line where you can demand that people give you an 
answer, nobody here is being paid to support you. This list is a 
community of users who may or may not know the answer you seek. Even 
if somebody does know the answer, if you don't ask the question in a 
meaningful, understandable manner or if the person is not immediately 
available to respond, you may not get an answer.

Reposting the next day with the exact same question is not going to 
change anything, well, maybe it will, it will change (usually 
negatively) the attitude of people who might be inclined to help otherwise.

well I am sure/certain that no one probably cares about this and I doubt 
that I will get a response, but I just wanted to say that I finally got it 
right with the PHP-Apache Server integration!!!

Please stop top-posting and trim your posts. It's rude and shows that you
do not care about clear communication. If you don't understand why, go
here and read this: http://www.faqs.org/rfcs/rfc1855.html

And also see this: http://www.river.com/users/share/etiquette/

If you are unable or unwilling to answer the qustions you have been asked
by other list members in an attempt to help you, then nobody here is going
to be willing or able to help you. Nobody can diagnose your problem
without relevant information.

Frankly, enabling PHP support on Windows is trivial and is fully
documented on the PHP web site at http://www.php.net/ in 23 different
languages. If you had done a search for "PHP installation windows" on
Google you would have found the page you need as the first page returned.

Follow the documentation link on the top of the PHP home page to get to
the installation procedure. Then RTFM. Be sure you use the correct DLL
file for the version of Apache you are using. This too is fully documented
on the PHP site.

If you're a geek, you ask meaningful questions here when you have
problems with your install.

Since you're evidently not, you should just install a pre-packaged
version such as provided by xampp or apachelounge.

All that I have tried to do was to integrate the PHP scripting language with 
the Apache Server, i.e., be able to view PHP files with the help of Apache. 
And my OS is Win XP Pro.
