First off do you have the server server alias set to you php directiory like this is mine

#
# ScriptAlias: This controls which directories contain server scripts.
# ScriptAliases are essentially the same as Aliases, except that
# documents in the realname directory are treated as applications and
# run by the server when requested rather than as documents sent to the client.
# The same rules about trailing "/" apply to ScriptAlias directives as to
# Alias.
#
ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ "C:/Apache/Apache/cgi-bin/"
ScriptAlias /php4/ "C:/php4/"

the bold is the line that needs to be added.

and do you have it pointing to your parser in this section again the line I had to add is in bold

#
# Action lets you define media types that will execute a script whenever
# a matching file is called. This eliminates the need for repeated URL
# pathnames for oft-used CGI file processors.
# Format: Action media/type /cgi-script/location
# Format: Action handler-name /cgi-script/location
#
Action application/x-httpd-php /php4/php.exe

also you need to set the types of files to parse again it is in bold

#
# AddType allows you to tweak mime.types without actually editing it, or to
# make certain files to be certain types.
#
AddType application/x-tar .tgz
AddType image/x-icon .ico

AddType application/x-httpd-php .php .phtml
AddType application/x-httpd-php-source .phps


That should cover it unless you already did this stuff
All of this goes in the httpd.conf file in your Apache directiory under the conf folder :)
