Can anyone tell me what combination of PHP 5.x and Apache 2.x they have been
able to  
successfully install on Windows XP, without going through the issues noted
below:

Got a new laptop. I'm doing a latest Apache/MySQL/PHP install on Windows XP.

On starting Apache without the PHP 5 LoadModule directives, all systems are
go and 
I am serving non-PHP web pages live from localhost.

On starting Apache with the PHP 5 LoadModule, Apache fails to start,
throwing an error like:
"httpd.exe: Syntax error on line 116 of C:/Program Files/Apache Software
Foundati
on/Apache2.2/conf/httpd.conf: Cannot load C:/PHP/php5apache2.dll into
server:"

Is this a known issue to you? Has anyone bested this installation error
state? 

Has anyone had to look at and follow the php.net User Contributed Notes
here:
http://us3.php.net/manual/en/install.windows.apache2.php 

Has anyone had to download this set of files and follow the suggested
directions at:
http://www.apachelounge.com/download/php5apache2.dll-php5.1.x.zip 
...where one overwrites the original "php5apache2.dll" with a new one among
other steps? 

____________________________

My personal Apache 2.2.3 and PHP 5.1.6 installation effort details include:

Using Apache 2.2.3 and loading PHP 5 as a module with these directives in
http.conf: 
LoadModule php5_module "C:/PHP/php5apache2.dll" 
AddType application/x-httpd-php .php 
PHPIniDir "C:/PHP" 

Installed PHP 5.1.6 to C:\PHP. Added the C:\PHP path to the System
environment variables. 
Added new environmant variable PHPRC = "C:\PHP"
