***first*** are you ***sure*** you're not trying to install PHP5 on an Apache 2.2 ? It doesn't work...

then, other tracks to follow :

1)If you're using XP Home, cut the php5ts.dll from the PHP folder and place this in C:\Windows\system32

2) ServerRoot in httpd.conf may be wrong

3) Use backslashes in PHP.INI and forwardslashes in the http.conf

easy : PHP 5+ is compiled for Apache 2.0.x and it is known to be incompatible so far with Apache 2.2+, at least on Windows

that's a binary issue xith the extensions AFAIK

Namely, you could have seen that :

httpd.exe: Syntax error on line 119 of C:/Program Files/Apache2/conf/httpd.conf:
API module structure 'php5_module' in file C:/Program Files/nusphere/phped/php5/
php5apache2.dll is garbled - perhaps this is not an Apache module DSO?

Revert to Apache 2.0.54 for installing any PHP 5+ on Windows

Other possibility I just googled (take it as a hint) : NuSphere Techplatform 4.4.

I also found that remark :

There seems to be a problem with Apache 2.2 and the PHP dll modules (on Windows obviously, don’t know if there are any problems on unix). I fixed it by going to http://www.apachelounge.com/download/ and downloading their version of the php4apache2.dll file. This also comes with another file which you have to put in your Apache/bin directory, and you will also need to download a MS Visual C++ Package if you don’t have the .NET framework installed. This is all explained in the readme file that comes with the DLL.

I have PHP latest snapshot and even used latest stable all 5.x branch with Apache 2.2.2 so it is compatible and runs fine. You do need to use certain binaries for Windows though for this installation. You can download them at http://www.apachelounge.com/download/ or compile them yourself. Could you paste us the lines in your config file that are coming up with errors including the line before and after it. Also paste any special directives you have used for your PHP config like PHPIniDir for instance. We beed to take this step by step, usually its a common mistake like not moving some DLLs to the system32 folder or placing files in wrong place.
