Is their a particular problem your stuck at?

Theirs a lot of help sites out there with setting up PHP.. Also php.net is probably one of the best resources and they have a LOT of help

If you still cant figure it out, heres a tutorial

Ususally, PHP will configure IIS to execute the file php.exe whenever it is asked to parse a .php file. If you used the windows installer version of PHP, it should have configured IIS to do this automatically.

However, you might need to do this yourself. Access the properties of your site, and click on the 'home directory' tab, then the 'configuration' button. In there, you should edit the application mappings, which link file extensions to applications like php. Create a new entry for .php files, making sure you point to the php.exe file (default is c:\PHP\php.exe).

This will enable IIS to parse PHP files properly.

It installed ok, or seemed to.
However when i try and run a basic php file it just displays a blank page, and when i view the source code it has all the php tags and stuff, so i assume its not doing anything with it. I'll try the help above and c if thats helps, thanks, as its driving me mad.
