Configuring Apache for new PHP

Hello all,

I am running PHP under Apache webserver on my Windows 98 PC. I need to install the latest version of PHP. I downloaded PHP 4.2.3 from www.php.net/downloads.php, but at the end it said, “The software to automatically configure the Apache httpd.conf file has not yet been written. You will have to configure Apache manually. See the install.txt file for more details.” I looked at install.txt but don’t know how to do what it says.

Now that version 4.1 introduces a safer sapi module, we recommend
that you configure PHP as a module in Apache.

To do this, you should move php4ts.dll to the windows/system (for Windows 9x/Me)
or winnt/system32 (for Windows NT/2000/XP) directory, overwriting any
older file. Then you should add the following three lines to your Apache
conf file: (swap c:/php/ for your PHP install path)

LoadModule php4_module c:/php/sapi/php4apache.dll
AddModule mod_php4.c
AddType application/x-httpd-php .php

That seems fairly straightforward. What's confusing you? Maybe I can help...
