Well then I wouldnt install another server to be able to view php pages. get the windows installer for php http://www.php.net/downloads.php. When you install that it will automatically give IIS the ability to process php scripts. Just create a directory where you plan on keeping your php files you write and web share it.

so how did u find php programming?? nice??

My recommendation would be to stop the IIS and kinda juggle between the 2 webservers depending on which one you are using (stopping and starting) either. Both option are workable depending on how comfortable you are with the stuff you have running on you machine.

its pretty easy once you have a background in c or c++. its a powerful scripting languages for web development and a very useful shell scripting engine on unix, but apart from that it just look like regular code to me. nothing to wow about if you get what I mean. Anyhow I would rate it as one of the better scripting languages avaliable for programming, you will find lots of help around the net as it very popular.
