Since you have got the test.php showing something we can assume apache is 
running. The next step is to modify the httpd.conf file ( in the conf 
directory of apache ) to load the php module

LoadModule php5_module d:/Network/php5_2_3/php5apache2_2.dll

And in the mime_module section I have
AddType application/x-httpd-php .php

So that Apache uses the php5_module to run .php files.

You need to restart Apache to load any changes to httpd.conf, but currently 
thouse are the only additions you should need to get phpinfo(); showing the 
php setup.

( I don't use MySQL, but you will need to load MySQL, and the php module that 
goes with that in php.ini - which should be in your windows directory )
