I have installed apache 2.0.61 and php 5.2.5 on my XP computer.
I have apache running and followed the installation instructions by Matthew
Phillips on www.devarticles.com.
Apache seems to be working but I can't get php scripts to work.
I may be missing server api but I have not been able to find it.

Those instructions are over 4 years old and is written for PHP 4. A lot
has changed since then.

Why not just install WAMP or XAMP. You get Apache, PHP and MySQL, all
in one nice package.

OK, I uninstalled apache and php and installed WAMP2.0a which has apache
2.2.6, php5.2.5 and mysql 5.0.45.
The index.html file in C:\wamp\bin\apache\apache2.2.6\htdocs runs and the
screen says "It works".
When I run test.php that contains the following

<?php
echo 'PHP is working.<br>';
echo phpinfo();
?>

I get

'; echo phpinfo(); ?>

so it looks like php is not working. This is the same problem I had before.
What now?

Well, first of all you don't echo phpinfo(). It produces the page all
by itself. You should only have:

<?php
phpinfo();
?>

What does your page source look like?

OK, I think I found it. The file has to be in a folder under C:\wamp\www to
work.
