PHP code appears as normal text on browser

Hello recently i tried some PHP coding, i've been trying to setup everything for it but found a problem

Whenever i insert these lines into my httpd.conf and restarted Apache it refused to start
LoadModule php7_module "C:/xampp/php/php7apache2_4.dll"
PHPIniDir "C:/xampp/php/"
LoadModule fcgid_module modules/mod_fcgid.so
AddHandler application/x-httpd-php .php

I have tested and yes, Apache starts without those in the httpd.conf

so my question is
1. how i solve the Apache not running problem with the httpd.conf
2. does it matter where i put the lines in the httpd.conf?

here is the error log when i tried to run Apache with the lines:

Hello recently i tried some PHP coding, i've been trying to setup everything for it but found a problem

And why did you override the Xampp Configuration (which definately works)? This forum is meant for people who are struggeling with Xampp configuration, but it is not meant for people which destroys the Xampp configuration.

1. how i solve the Apache not running problem with the httpd.conf

I would use the standard Xampp configuration. If you dont like to do so, we need more precisely error messages, what exactly is going wrong (the messages you applied do not even report about any error, its only warnings).

2. does it matter where i put the lines in the httpd.conf?

No and yes. It does not matter if you put the lines in the beginning or in the end, but it matters, if these lines are surrounded by other configuration tags (like "VirtualHost" or "Directory" etc.). Instead of starting Apache via Xampp Control, please try to run "apache_start.bat" in the Xampp folder, this might give more clues, what exactly is going wrong.

Last not least, this is a german board ("Grundlagen und Wissenswertes" is german, undoubtly or not?!), there is an english part in the bottom. Please do not write in english in the german board.
