XAMPP is a full package of the components Apache, MySQL, PHP, Perl.
So, PHP support is already included.

I do not mean to be niave but how do I get the php module to appear in the control panel? I found all the fiels for PHP and everything else by using the explore button in the control panel.

Thanks
Mike

php is active by default.
to be clearer, php is just an extension in your Apache. There is no start button in your control panel, because it's not needed.
If you start your Apache, he will be able to route your php files through the php interpreter.

Just copy your php files into your htdocs folder (or a subfolder of it), open your browser and type in the url.

e.g. if you have a test.php file is in your Folder c:/xampp/htdocs/, the url will be http://localhost/test.php.
