    Installing PHP is one thing, telling Apache how to handle those scripts
is another, since (on Windows) it is not automatic.
    Did you edit httpd.conf accordingly ?
    You should find something like

    #
    # ScriptAlias: This controls which directories contain server scripts.
    # ScriptAliases are essentially the same as Aliases, except that
    # documents in the realname directory are treated as applications and
    # run by the server when requested rather than as documents sent to the
client.
    # The same rules about trailing "/" apply to ScriptAlias directives as
to
    # Alias.
    #
    # ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ "d:/program files/Apache Group/Apache/cgi-bin/"

    #
    # AddType allows you to tweak mime.types without actually editing it, or
to
    # make certain files to be certain types.
    #
    AddType application/x-httpd-php .php .phtml
    AddType application/x-httpd-php-source .phps

    #
    # "d:/program files/Apache Group/Apache/cgi-bin" should be changed to
whatever your ScriptAliased
    # CGI directory exists, if you have that configured.
    #
    # <Directory "d:/program files/Apache Group/Apache/cgi-bin">

#
# Action lets you define media types that will execute a script whenever
# a matching file is called. This eliminates the need for repeated URL
# pathnames for oft-used CGI file processors.
# Format: Action media/type /cgi-script/location
# Format: Action handler-name /cgi-script/location
#
# Where PHP.exe is located
#
    Action application/x-httpd-php /php/php.exe
