Hi! Please refer to the online installation procedures for using PHP with Apache. Make sure that your Apache server is running as a 'service' (daemon) by verifying its status under 'services.msc' snap-in for Microsoft Management Console. Have you ever tried accessing the file by NOT double-clicking on it? Try firing up your favorite browser and go somewhere like 'http://localhost/' or 'http://127.0.0.1/' to see if Apache really is running. Also check where you have saved your 'helloworld.php' (or something), make sure it's under the DocumentRoot of Apache (by default, this will be under 'C:\Program Files\Apache Group\Apache\htdocs'). If you're sure that PHP is installed properly as per documentation, Apache is up and running, and your PHP file is under the DocumentRoot, try visiting something like 'http://127.0.0.1/helloworld.php'.

While double clicking php.exe, a window gets opened and nothing seems to happen with it. We have to close it manually. Is it unusual or is it supposed to be like that only.
