I checked a few of these and they were really out of date. I don't
remember which ones.
I installed Apache and PHP recently on WinXP with pretty much no hassle.
It was pretty painless even with the minimal amount of documentation I
actually read.
I'd install Apache first. Choose the defaults, then get the installer
packages for PHP and mySQL.
If one of those packages is current and someone can speak for it, by all
means,
