file (usually in the directory c:program filesbadbluepe) and add the
following lines

[SERVICES]
extension1=php,c:phpphp.exe
extension2=php3,c:phpphp.exe
extension3=php4,c:phpphp.exe

about the current state of PHP. This includes information about PHP
compilation options and extensions, the PHP version, server information and
environment, the PHP environment, OS version information, paths, master and
local values of configuration options, HTTP headers, and the PHP License.

Open you browser and type http://localhost/test.php in the address bar,
click Go to see if you see output like the screen below to make sure PHP in
configured and running properly.

recognizes PHP files, please make sure you have followed the instructions
properly.
