php not execute (Apache on Windows)

Rob Tyson, Sean Flannery,

Sorry for no text in the original post.  Here's my question/problem: I 
need to setup php via apache on a Win 2000 workstation.  I can not, 
through countless efforts, get the PHP code executed (apache serves it 
like a text file).  Here are the technical details:

* Win 2000
* PHP 5
* Apache 1.3

Here are the details of my httpd.conf which seems fine:

Last line of the loadModule directives is,

LoadModule php5_module "C:/php/php5apache.dll"

Last line of the AddModule directives is,

AddModule mod_php5.c

After AddType directives (within IfModule mod_mime.c):

AddType application/x-httpd-php .php


Additionall, I have php.ini in the winnt folder.  I receive no error 
messages.  Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks.




********************************

If your PHP script is displaying as text within your browser, here are a
couple potential culprits:

- Incorrect use of the 'AddType' directive in the Apache config file
(should be something like "AddType application/x-httpd-php .php .html")

- Incorrect encoding either in your config file or your browser (This
shouldn't be a problem if you stick with the default install/config
instructions that come with PHP5/Apache)

- ***The sneakiest culprit ever*** (Kept me up for a couple days before
I caught this)... Some text editors will insert a non-viewable character
in front of your code.  You can't view it, but it's enough to invalidate
your "<?php" tag.
