How can I install PHP to run on Windows XP without conflicting with my ASP server? Somebody once told me there's a special way of handling it so that I can run both PHP and ASP on my computer.
 
I've installed PHP on an IIS 5 server running on W2K. I found the process fairly painless.

PHP will not conflict with ASP. ASP is not actually built into IIS -- it's basically a module that plugs into IIS, just like PHP.

If I named a file "foo.asp", the ASP interpreter handled it. If I named a file "foo.php", the PHP interpreted it.
 
you can set your apache to run on a different port.

in httpd.conf change this line :

Port 80

to

Port 81

That way you can have both servers running side by side.

To access apache (php) you can do and for your existing ASP server you can use
I hope this helps.
