d/load and install WAMP(Windows-Apache-MySQL-PHP) so much easier

You most likely want to do server-side work with PHP? As in a PHP powered website?

In that case, you need to install an HTTP Server as well. You already have a database, that's good. I would install the Apache Web Server, a very popular (and powerful) choice. First, uninstall PHP. Then, download and install Apache 2.2 (http://httpd.apache.org/download.cgi). Reinstall PHP 5.2 with the installer, make sure to install the Apache 2.2 modules. You should be good to go. If you have problems or questions, you can check the PHP Installation Docs (http://www.php.net/manual/en/install.windows.installer.msi.php) .
