php not opening with Apache 2.2

[c_ganderton]

Hi

I am just about to start learning php and am falling at the first hurdle as i cannot get a php file to open.
Forgive my lack of knowledge as new to this but i have downloaded latest php version and am using Apache 2.2. I have changed the httpd file in apache so it has AddType application/x-httpd-php .php in it. also php5apache2_2.dll is in the php location.
Apache is working when i type in localhost but when i start it it does bring up an error re: sockets and not be able to bind to 80?

Can anyone help with this?

Many Thanks

2nd: totally wrong forum. How is that related to XAMPP for Windows?
