well php should be installed as a module on IIS6 and you then need to
tell the server where the interpreter is, the php_apache2_2.dll or
whatever it is called should be installed as a ??isapi filter?? - cant
remember the 2k3 terminology, and then you have to make sure it is
running - so the "up" arrow is displayed.

That should ring some bells, basically as Steve colourfully said, it
works by associating the ".php" extension with the php interpreter, so
somewhere that has to be specified. To be honest it's a bit of a faff,
but there are some great sites about IIS and php, and how fast you can
get it to go.
