Downloading & Installing
Apache:
http://httpd.apache.org/download.cgi#apache22
Download the apache installer (MSI Installer) and install it, . Run it from your start menu.
Download the PHP 5.2.17 zip (VC6 x86 Thread Safe) and extract it. I suggest C:\php5.2.17.
http://windows.php.net/download/#php-5.2
MySQL 5 – update later

Configuring Apache to use PHP
Go into httpd.conf. find the bunch of LoadModule lines and add this one.
LoadModule php5_module C:/php5.2.17/php5apache2_2.dll
So In my file it looks like this
#++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
LoadModule php5_module C:/php5.2.17/php5apache2_2.dll
PHPIniDir C:/php5.2.17/
#++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Find the bunch of AddType lines and add this one
AddType application/x-httpd-php .php
