With Win98se and PWS4.0 is better use PHP has isapi module, and the 
steps to install are:

1. DownLoad lastest version of PHP like php-4.0.3pl1-Win32.zip for Win32 
of course.
2. Unzip php-4.0.3pl1-Win32.zip in any folder, por example C:\PHP.
3. Copy php4ts.dll and msvcrt.dll in your C:\Windows\System folder. 
php4ts.dll is in <root> of your unziping directory and msvcrt.dll is in 
<root>\dlls.
4. If you wish to change any defaults, copy either the php.ini-dist or
php.ini-optimized files into your Windows directory, and rename it to
'php.ini'.  You can then modify any of the directives inside it. For 
session suport you must change the line:

session.save_path  = /tmp

for:

session.save_path = "c:\Path\To\Session\Folder"

and if you need any extension you need setup the line:

extension_dir = ./

with

extension_dir = "C:\Path\To\PHP\extensions"

and descoment the extensions has you need. Too you can change the line:

;browscap	=	extra/browscap.ini

with:

browscap	=	C:\Path\To\PHP\Path\TO\Browscap\browscap.ini

5. Create and Edit a file PWS-php4.reg file to reflect the location of 
your php4isapi.dll.  Forward slashes should be escaped, for example:
  
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\w3svc\parameters\S
cript Map]
".php"="C:\\Path\\To\\PHP\\sapi\\php4isapi.dll"

and execute this file.

6. In the PWS Manager, right click on a given directory you want to add 
PHP support to, and select Properties.  Check the 'Execute' checkbox, 
and confirm.

7. And finally restart Windows for all above work it.
