What would you want that for ?

That's good.

This loads the CGI version of php. You probably don't want that.

This looks like the command to load the Apache PHP4 module. But there are
two things wrong with it: 1) It loads the wrong dll 2) You can't have PHP
active both as a CGI version and as an Apache module.

Resolution:
-----------
php4ts.dll needs to be copied to c:\windows\system (and just left there).

the LoadModule line should load the Apache PHP module, not the php4 dll:

--> LoadModule php4_module c:/php/sapi/php4apache.dll
# For Apache 1.3.x

or

--> LoadModule php4_module c:/php/sapi/php4apache2.dll
# For Apache 2.0.x, which I assume you're running

(of course you should change the path to the php directory if php is
installed anywhere else)

That only leads to confusion. Just leave it in c:\php put a copy in
c:\windows\system.

Read the documentation!! It's there for a purpose!

Here is a working PHP config for Apache 2.0.x:

httpd.conf:
-----------
--> LoadModule php4_module c:/php/sapi/php4apache2.dll
....
--> AddType application/x-httpd-php .php

That's really all.
