Can you help me with PHP/Apache?

I love danny =)

I have a project involving PHP and MySQL and I'm having some trouble getting PHP working on my computer.

I downloaded Apache 2.2.15 first and opened the localhost and got "It works!"

I then went to php.net and downloaded VC6 x86 Non Thread Safe and tried making my PHP test page with <?php phpinfo(); ?> and saved it in the htdocs folder in my Apache folder.

But when I try opening my test page I don't get the page I'm supposed to get. Instead I see all of my html/php formatting tags.

Am I doing something wrong? Did I download the wrong version of PHP from the website?

Also, I know about XAMPP but my professor discouraged us from using it so I haven't tried that yet.
