Without knowing what it is that you cannot understand it's difficult to know what kind of help to give you. http://php.net/manual/en/install.windows.php[^]

Well personally I would go for the option of using the Windows installer on your Windows computer. PHP 5.2 seems like it would be a good choice.

now i get to this page by click on PHP 5.2 ....where should i click now to run its setup then???

I would suggest that you get XAMPP, since it's got php, mysql etc, etc included.
You can download it here:
http://www.apachefriends.org/en/xampp-windows.html#641
(I would get the Installer - and install to C:\XAMPP)

Failing that, navigate to the link Wes gave earlier. Then, click on 'downloads' in the page header. Following that, click 'Windows 5.4.4 binaries and source'. From there, you're probably better-off selecting the Thread-Safe version rather than the Non Thread Safe version.

XAMPP is 91MB
PHP 5.4.4 is 14MB

Edit: using XAMPP on this Win7 laptop.

Lida, can you finally understand that this is not a kindergarten here (even though it's more and more of a kindergarten :-)? What is your "where should I click"?
