You have to add .php as a mime type in php, and you have to specify the php executable for it.<br />
<br />
Having said that though, I would strongly recommend using apache for windows. &nbsp;It is much easier to configure with php, and more secure as well.

Understood it's windows, but does it have to be IIS? &nbsp;<br />

You do 'get' a mime type, it's something you add into IIS. &nbsp;IF you go into IIS you should see some defaults like ASP and stuff, you have to add php here.

PHP is a widely-used server-side scripting language especially suited for web development, powering tens of millions of sites from Facebook to personal WordPress blogs. PHP is often paired with the MySQL relational database, but includes support for most other mainstream databases. By utilizing different Server APIs, PHP can work on many different web servers as a server-side scripting language.
