.php files not parsing under Apache/PHP4

I was having this trouble on my Windows ME after first installing 
Apache - editing the htppd.conf to set DocumentROOT ... ServerNAME etc 
succesfully ...

Then following the various documentation for PHP install but i lacked 
the knowledge of the 'theory' behind my setting up the entries for PHP 
handling in the apache config file.

the breakthrough came to me after 'logically' seeing where I had made a 
mistake in the htppd.conf sections relating to PHP activation 
or 'parsing'

Every time I loaded a PHP document it tried to offer to 'save to disk' 
or 'open from current location'.....

an answer on this site helped we grasp he logic....

also ensure you edit the PHP.INI file in your windows directory if this 
is your platform...
