Install PHP5:
Suppose your system is installed in C, otherwise the following directory must be changed to the appropriate disk directory.
Unzip the downloaded PHP5 RC3 (php-5.0.0rc3-win32.zip) to the C:\PHP5\ directory. Unzip all files in the PECL Extension Module collection package into the C:\PHP5\ext\ directory.
Copy the Php5ts.dll file from the C:\PHP5\ directory to C:\windows\ (if the Windows 2000 operating system is the C:\WINNT\ directory, the same below, no longer repeat the description) directory.
Copy the following DLL files in the C:\PHP5\ directory under the C:\windows\system32\ directory:

Fdftk.dll

Fribidi.dll

Gds32.dll

Libeay32.dll

Libintl-1.dll

Libmhash.dll

Libmysql.dll

Libmysqli.dll

Ntwdblib.dll

Ntwdblib.dll

Yaz.dll

Where Libmysql.dll is extended support for MySQL 4.1 Prior versions, Libmysqli.dll for MySQL 4.1 later. Because I download the above is the MySQL 4.0.20, so actually copy libmysql.dll can.
Copy the Php.ini-dist file in the C:\PHP5\ directory to the C:\windows\ directory and rename it to php.ini and open the edit with Notepad:
Navigate to the following two lines:

; Directory in which the loadable Extensions (modules) reside.

Extension_dir = "./"

Modify the following line to point it to the C:\PHP5\ext\ directory, as follows:

; Directory in which the loadable Extensions (modules) reside.

Extension_dir = "C:\PHP5\ext\"

Navigate to the following two lines:

; Windows Extensions

; This is the ODBC support is built in, and so no DLL are needed for it.

You can see that all of the supported extensions are listed below, and we can remove the preceding semicolon to enable PHP to support the appropriate extensions. I tested it, support the following extensions, or configure them according to your selections.

DirectoryIndex index.html Index.html.var

Add a PHP default page after it, usually index.php, as follows:

#LoadModule Ssl_module modules/mod_ssl.so

Add a line below:

LoadModule Php5_module C:\php5\php5apache2.dll

Make it point to the Php5apache2.dll file in the PHP5 directory, the path must be accurate.
To specify that Apache recognizes Chinese, we specify GB2312 as the default encoding. Should find and locate the line below
