Please for the love of god, download the threaded version. I spent over an hour trying to figure out why php5apache2.dll could not be found, and while desperately looking through manuals I went into the php 5 structure and found that it doesn't exist in the non-threaded version.
This really could use a mention somewhere other than the PHP 5 structure, like the paragraph to the left of the homepage which talks about which PHP version to choose, or this part of the manual which covers Apache... Anywhere but structure, seriously. I would have never guessed to look there.
Apache 2.x on Microsoft Windows
This section contains notes and hints specific to Apache 2.x installs of PHP on Microsoft Windows systems. We also have instructions and notes for Apache 1.3.x users on a separate page.
Notă:
You should read the manual installation steps first!
Notă: Apache 2.2 Support
Users of Apache 2.2 should note that the DLL file for Apache 2.2 is named php5apache2_2.dll rather than php5apache2.dll and is available only for PHP 5.2.0 and later.
You are strongly encouraged to consult the » Apache Documentation to get a basic understanding of the Apache 2.x Server. Also consider reading the » Windows specific notes for Apache 2.x before reading on here.
Apache 2.x is designed to run on the Windows version designated as server platforms, such as Windows NT 4.0, Windows 2000, Windows XP, or Windows 7. While Apache 2.x works tolerably well on Windows 9x, support on these platforms is incomplete, and some things will not work correctly. There is no plan to remedy this situation.
Download the most recent version of » Apache 2.x and a fitting PHP version. Follow the Manual Installation Steps and come back to go on with the integration of PHP and Apache.
There are three ways to set up PHP to work with Apache 2.x on Windows. You can run PHP as a handler, as a CGI, or under FastCGI.
Notă: Țineți minte că la adăugarea căilor în fișierele de configurare Apache pentru Windows, toate backslash-urile cum ar fi în c:\directory\file.ext ar trebui convertite în slash-uri normale: c:/directory/file.ext. De asemenea poate fi necesar un slash la sfârșit pentru directoare.
Installing as an Apache handler
You need to insert the following lines into your Apache httpd.conf configuration file to load the PHP module for Apache 2.x:
Example #1 PHP and Apache 2.x as handler
# LoadModule php5_module "c:/php/php5apache2.dll" AddHandler application/x-httpd-php .php # configure the path to php.ini PHPIniDir "C:/php"
Notă: Remember to substitute your actual path to PHP for the C:/php/ in the above examples. Take care to use either php5apache2.dll or php5apache2_2.dll in your LoadModule directive and verify that the referenced file is in fact located at the file path that you point to in this directive.
The above configuration will enable PHP handling of any file that has a .php extension, even if there are other file extensions. For example, a file named example.php.txt will be executed by the PHP handler. To ensure that only files that end in .php are executed, use the following configuration instead:
<FilesMatch \.php$>
SetHandler application/x-httpd-php
</FilesMatch>
Running PHP as CGI
You should consult the » Apache CGI documentation for a more complete understanding of running CGI on Apache.
To run PHP as CGI, you'll need to place your php-cgi files in a directory designated as a CGI directory using the ScriptAlias directive.
You will then need to insert a #! line in the PHP files, pointing to the location of your PHP binary:
Example #2 PHP and Apache 2.x as CGI
#!C:/php/php.exe <?php phpinfo(); ?>
Avertizare
Un server configurat în regim CGI este susceptibil câtorva atacuri posibile. Vă rugăm să citiți secțiunea despre securitatea CGI pentru a afla cum să vă apărați de astfel de atacuri.
Running PHP under FastCGI
Running PHP under FastCGI has a number of advantages over running it as a CGI. Setting it up this way is fairly straightforward:
Obtain mod_fcgid from » http://httpd.apache.org/mod_fcgid/. Win32 binaries are available for download from that site. Install the module according to the instructions that will come with it.
Configure your web server as shown below, taking care to adjust any paths to reflect your how you have installed things on your particular system:
Example #3 Configure Apache to run PHP as FastCGI
LoadModule fcgid_module modules/mod_fcgid.so # Where is your php.ini file? FcgidInitialEnv PHPRC "c:/php" AddHandler fcgid-script .php FcgidWrapper "c:/php/php-cgi.exe" .php

If you come with an error like this: Wrapper xxxx cannot be accessed: blah blah blah when starting Apache.
You have 3 choices to solve this problem. Any one of them would work.
1. Reinstall your applictions in paths that do not contain spaces.
2. Place a backslash before every space in the path set to the FcgidWrapper directive in httpd.conf, like:
FcgidWrapper "C:/Program\ Files/PHPServer/PHP/php-cgi.exe" .php
3. Use mklink (or junction for windows XP/2003) to create a symbol link to the path of php-cgi.exe's containing folder.
run cmd.exe and type this command:
mklink /j C:\php\ "C:\Program Files\PHPServer\PHP".
or this command if you are on Windows XP/2003
junction C:\php\ "C:\Program Files\PHPServer\PHP"
Remember this : you need to download junction.exe to use it. Don't know where to download? Google it.
Then the FcgidWrapper directive should be like this:
FcgidWrapper "C:/php/php-cgi.exe" .php
Don't forget to change the paths above to your working paths.

If you are having issues getting the PHPIniDir or LoadModule directives to work and all the suggestions already given do not help, double-check if you are not using fancy quotes around your paths (‘ ’ “ ”).
This happened to me because I copied the statements from a random website. In my text editor the difference was barely noticeable, but to Apache it certainly is!
For example, this will not work:
PHPIniDir “C:/PHP7”
But this will work:
PHPIniDir "C:/PHP7"

I am using Windows 8 x64, running Apache 2.2 and php 5.4.20
I found that it is necessary to add System Environment Variable PHPRC=[PHP path], so that php.ini is loaded using your PHP path, instead of C:\Windows.
This is how I do for my laptop
Go to Control Panel\System and Security\System\Advanced System Settings\Environment Variables
Add New System Variable
Name: PHPRC
Value: C:\php-5.4.20
Hope it relieve those who keep having empty string for Loaded Configuration File under phpinfo();

Windows Apache 2.4.12 (x64) PHP 5.6.5 (x64)
If your Apache still outputs code instead of parsing a script. Make sure you put a trailing "\" at the end of the PHPIniDir value and use ONLY "\" in path to PHPIniDir. And "/" in LoadModule. A very subtle "feature" of Apache module. Lost several hours after upgrading to apache x64 to resolve the issue.
httpd.conf

Here is yet another aspect of the "faulting module php5ts.dll" crash when trying to start apache.
I installed Apache 2.2.18, Mysql 5.1.57 and PHP 5.2.17 (apache module, VC6 thread-safe - initially with no extensions) on a fresh WinXP SP3 system. The versions chosen were because I was trying to replicate as near as possible apps on my Linux server.
Everything configured and ran properly without php extensions, so I then reran the msi installer and chose the necessary extensions. I reconfigured httpd.conf but apache then just kept crashing.
Eventually I came across the "fix" mentioned elsewhere "copy libmysql.dll to apache folder" and suddenly it worked. But why? I checked and the php installation folder was in the system path. The answer was simply that I had never rebooted. It seems that whatever process controls windows services only reads the path at boot time. I was thrown by assuming that if I started httpd from the command line then it would inherit that path.
Here are a few diagnostic tips that helped me along the way:
Try the CLI command:
php -m
and see that the command line version loads all the modules you asked for.
in php.ini, enable
display_errors = On
and
display_startup_errors = On
The latter pops up a window saying which extension it has trouble loading. Of course it is not perfectly clear, because it says something like 'unable to load "C:\php\ext\php_mysql.dll" - The specified module could not be found'. It lies - it really does find that dll, but it must have failed on the dependency of libmysql.dll.

A Thread Safe version should be used if you install PHP as an Apache module. The Non Thread Safe version should be used if you install PHP as a CGI binary.

I am very new to PHP. I was looking to start a Drupal project and spend almost 4 hours to get Apache and Drupal talk each other.
What I found out was there are lots of mismatch in documentation and snapshots.
As I am using Windows I found out following two installation bundles works without any issue.
php-5.3.28-Win32-VC9-x86.msi
httpd-2.2.25-win32-x86-openssl-0.9.8y.msi
Make sure you install your packages directly into into C: drive in Windows machine (If there are spaces in the file paths it would cause issues).
Hope this would help someone.

Like someone else mentioned, on the Windows download page for PHP, ignore the warning about not downloading the VC9 compiled installers for the Apache.org version of Apache.
Whoever wrote that is guaranteeing that people install a PHP that breaks their Apache server. (On Windows 7 anyway.) The installer failed to write the correct path info to httpd.conf, and even after fixing that manually, Apache wouldn't start because of missing dlls.
Ignore that dumb warning and get the newest installer anyway. Everything just plain works with no hassle and no hunting down dll files over google.

I was able to get apache up and running without any problems. Then I tried installing php and it crashed trying to read "C:/php/php5apache2.dll".
Fixed the problem by switching it to "C:/php/php5apache2_2.dll"
Hope that helps!

I also had a problem with the PHPIniDir declaration. This is with Apache 2.2 on XP. I had to include a final slash, as in PHPIniDir "C:\Program Files\php\". Apache failed to start if I did not include the slash after php.

After using the Windows installer for Apache 2.2 and PHP 5.3.2, and installing PHP as an Apache module (not CGI), Apache would crash and fail to start. There were two problems with the configuration files for Apache and PHP.
First, make sure your Apache configuration file reads something similar to:
LoadModule php5_module "C:/Program Files/PHP/php5apache2_2.dll"
PHPIniDir "C:/Program Files/PHP/"
While other users have disabled some or all of the MySQL extensions to prevent all three from running at the same time, I have all of them enabled. However, I do not have PostgreSQL, so I needed to comment out loading the php_pgsql.dll in my php.ini file, as follows:
;[PHP_PGSQL]
;extension=php_pgsql.dll
This stopped Apache from crashing and started successfully.

If you install PHP as an Apache CGI binary, you can add:
AddHandler cgi-script .php
into Apache httpd.conf, and add shebang line to every PHP scripts like:
#!php
<?php
phpinfo();
?>
. But adding shebang line has a disadvantage that if you decided to install PHP as an Apache module afterwards, then the shebang line WILL appear in the web page.
In fact, you do NOT need to add shebang line to every PHP script even if you install PHP as an Apache CGI binary, because you can add:
ScriptInterpreterSource Registry-Strict
into Apache httpd.conf, and make the registry file and merge it like:
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.php\Shell\ExecCGI\Command]
@="\"C:\\Program Files\\PHP\\php-cgi.exe\""
. Then you will NOT need to change the PHP scripts which do not contain shebang line.

Just a note
It might be important you include the absolute path to the php.ini file inside the httpd.conf file so that php may load all the module(s).
below is an example
#BEGIN PHP INSTALLER EDITS - REMOVE ONLY ON UNINSTALL
PHPIniDir 'C:\PHP\php.ini'
LoadModule php5_module "c:/php/php5apache2_2.dll"
AddHandler application/x-httpd-php .php
#END PHP INSTALLER EDITS - REMOVE ONLY ON UNINSTALL
OS: windows 2008

With Apache 2.4 in Windows, it seems that PHPIniDir directive must come before LoadModule directive to be used. Also, name of the DLL file seems to be php5apache2_4.dll, not php5apache2.dll.
This configuration in httpd.conf works for me (Apache 2.4.10, PHP 5.6.5):
PHPIniDir "C:\PHP"

If you come with an error like this: Wrapper xxxx cannot be accessed: blah blah blah when starting Apache.
You have 3 choices to solve this problem. Any one of them would work.
1. Install your applictions in paths that do not contains spaces.
2. Place a backslash before every space in the path set to Wrapper, like:
FctidWrapper "C:/Program\ Files/PHPServer/PHP/php-cgi.exe" .php
3. Use mklink (or junction for windows XP/2003) to create a link to the path you have installed php in.
run cmd.exe and type this command:
mklink /j C:\php\ "C:\Program Files\PHPServer\PHP".
or this command if you are on Windows XP/2003
junction C:\php\ "C:\Program Files\PHPServer\PHP"
Remember this : you have to download online to use this application. Don't know where to download? Go and Google it.
Then the FctidWrapper directive should be like this:
FctidWrapper "C:/php/php-cgi.exe" .php
Don't forget to change the paths above to your working paths.

Hi guys,
In my case, it work right away when I change the version to thread-safe.
I spent some time trying the different things that were posted here and I was kind of lazy about downloading a different version, but once I test it with a thead-safe it started right away. So be sure you try this.
I was on Apache 2.2, XP and php 5.2.17 thread-safe
This is my conf:
LoadModule php5_module "c:/php5/php5apache2_2.dll"
AddHandler application/x-httpd-php .php
#configure the path to php.ini
PHPIniDir 'C:\php5\'
Good luck!

Good God finally I was able to make PHP 5.2 work on Apache 2.4. For those still having problems with "You don't have permission to run php-cgi.exe", you must replace "Order allow,deny" and "Allow from all" from the PHP directory block with "Require all granted". They must have changed the format with Apache 2.4 since the old method used to work just fine for me before.
So the usual method of setting up CGI, I'm sure you already know that you should add these 3 lines to httpd.conf:
ScriptAlias /php/ "c:/php/"
AddType application/x-httpd-php .php
Action application/x-httpd-php "/php/php-cgi.exe"
And now add the directory for PHP:
<Directory "c:/php">
AllowOverride None
Options None
Require all granted
</Directory>
Important: Notice that instead of "Order allow,deny" and "Allow from all" added into the PHP directory as usual, I replaced them with "Require all granted" as I mentioned above.

LoadModule php5_module "C:/PHP/php5apache2_2.dll
"PHPIniDir "C:/PHP"
After it Apache don`t starts. If remove PHPIniDir line Apache starts ok, but C:/PHP/php.ini don`t loaded. So you can`t use any extension (for me it's MySQL).
I uninstall VC9 version and install VC6 (php-5.3.3-Win32-VC6-x86.msi) version. All works fine now.

I wanted to install PHP5.3 for Apache2.2 with PostgreSql 9.0 support on WindowsXP. It took me hours to solve it.
The following possible problems occur:
- You should use the VC6-compiled version of php instead of VC9. The later one does not work properly with apache.
- the postgres handler dlls are not working in PHP5.3.
The symptom was a misleading and very confusing error message:
Unable to load dynamic library 'c:\Progra~1\PHP\ext\php_pgsql.dll'
The dll itself was there but when it started to load the other dll (libpq.dll) from the php directory then this caused an error. This error was misinterpreted internally in the above message.
The solution was NOT to use the libpq.dll from php but use it from postgres distribution instead.
For this purpose I inserted the following line into the apache httpd conf:
LoadFile "C:/Progra~1/PostgreSQL/9.0/bin/libpq.dll"
This preloads the dll. When php_pgsql.dll would load his own libpq.dll, then there is the preloaded version of this file in the memory already. This prevents us from using the bad version of dll.
I hope I helped.

I added all this at the very end of httpd.conf
# For PHP 5
#load the php main library to avoid dll hell
Loadfile "C:\php-5.2.8-Win32\php5ts.dll"
#load the sapi so that apache can use php
LoadModule php5_module "C:\php-5.2.8-Win32\php5apache2_2.dll"
#set the php.ini location so that you don't have to waste time guessing where it is
PHPIniDir "C:\php-5.2.8-Win32"
#Hook the php file extensions
AddHandler application/x-httpd-php .php
AddHandler application/x-httpd-php-source .phps
Also i didn't use short open tags as they are disabled in
"php.ini-recommended" if you don't change anything
So use this to test
<?php
phpinfo();
?>
NOT
<? phpinfo(); ?> short open tags
added my php directory to the PATH system variable and i start apache manually not as a service
It works for me hope it helps you!

For PHP 7 configuration just add these lines to the end of httpd.conf file (of Apache):
PHPIniDir "/alex/apps/php-7.2.3/"
LoadModule php7_module "C:/alex/apps/php-7.2.3/php7apache2_4.dll"
<FilesMatch \.php$>
SetHandler application/x-httpd-php
</FilesMatch>
Here "/alex/apps/php-7.2.3/" is PHP path.
Then:
1. Rename php.ini-development or php.ini-production to php.ini
2. Uncomment / set extension_dir parameter in php.ini
; Directory in which the loadable extensions (modules) reside.
; http://php.net/extension-dir
; extension_dir = "./"
; On windows:
extension_dir = "ext"
You are set. Just re/start Apache server (httpd -k restart).

AddType application/x-httpd-php .php
AddType application/x-httpd-php .html
AddHandler application/x-httpd-php .php
And things goes well !

Can anyone tell me: Why PHP + Apache 2.2.x installation is such a big deal. I am a Java Developer and currently I am trying to learn PHP, but I am not able to install PHP and use it the way we use Java. I could use steps mentioned in comments and run home.php from htdocs folder of apache. But, could anyone please tell me DO I HAVE TO PUT EVERY FILE IN THE SAME FOLDER? Can't I make my workbench where I can put a good project hierarchy and use it like other languages. Its horrible. May be my question is little silly, but I need help for sure.
Thanks...
