I wrote a tutorial that shows you how to setup PHP and Apache on
Windows. There is also one that shows you how to setup MySQL on
Windows. I even have an example script that integrates all three
together.

Although I don't have PHP + IIS specifics, you are welcome to email me
offlist about any questions that you might have. Offlist email is
webmaster[at]meidomus[dot]com.

The links to the install tutorials are on the index page of my site
(in the sig). The rest of the stuff you can find by either searching,
or clicking on the PHP link under the sections menu on the left.

Comments always welcome, and if you post one to an article, I'll know
thanks to MT's email feature :)
