Both the PHP Manual and the installation script are incorrect for installing the CGI Binary with PWS version 4.

PHP is installed with eg:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\w3svc\parameters\Script Map] ".php"="C:\\PHP\\php.exe" 

However it should be set to the same value as documented  for IIS4 and for PWS3:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\w3svc\parameters\Script Map] ".php"="C:\\PHP\\php.exe %s %s"

Until this correction is made, the first invocation of a php script succeeds, but all successive ones fail until an html page is read.  Then the first php script succeeds again and the rest fail.  This behaviour can be obscured a little if the browser is saving temporary pages.

Errors can include HTTP Error 500 and "The directory name is invalid".

Arrrgh - the problem has reappeared so making that registry change hasn't fixed it.

I think I finally cracked this one (rash statement for MS software!):

The secret seems to be that all the Registry stuff is irrelevant, misleading and can be deleted.

The real PWS/IIS configuration info is held in winnt\system32\inetsrv\metabase.bin and should be edited with inetmgr.exe in that same directory.  My installation has a shortcut to it as START|Programs|Windows NT 4.0 Option Pack|Microsoft Personal Web Server|Internet Service Manager.

Edit the virtual directory|properties|configuration button|Application Mappings to add "php -> <your path>\php.exe %s %s". Set the directory permissions to "script".

Now it works!
