XP SP2
I would like to start learning PHP and just wonder if I need to choose
either IIS or Apache turned on? Not both?

PHP will run happily under IIS or Apache. (Don't try both because they will
both want to grab port 80 and only one will be able to get it.) Its been a
while since I installed it (for either server), so I can't give you a guide
on the steps. I would suggest that you stick with IIS because its simpler
than Apache.

It's kinda interesting and a learning experience as you need to toggle
between a whole lot of configuration :)

This is one of my favorite. Very resourceful.

If you are installing Apache, I assume you would be fiddling with PHP, mySQL
too ??

Yes, I tried to install apache on Windows, but looks like need to do some
configuration changes in apache config file.

Can I run PHP and ASP.NET using using IIS?
Can I put those .php and .aspx file under
c:\inetpub\wwwroot
?
