problem with installing php

hello everybody!
it's my firts post and new member on this grate site, and i have a big problem
i didn't understand 8 steps of installing php

Quote:

8. Select the Advanced tab, and then click the Environment Variables button. Add the directory to
which you extracted PHP to your System ’ s PATH variable ( C:\PHP in our configuration). Also
create a new System variable PHPRC with the same directory as its value. This allows other
applications (such as Apache) to find PHP without your having to copy files into your System
directory.

i did like this:

1. variable name: PATH
variable value: C:\PHP
2. variable name: PHPRC
variable value: C:\PHP

it's correct?

I think you want to 'edit' the PATH to add C:\PHP because you don't want to eliminate your other PATHS. Use a ';' after the last PATH to add C:\PHP. Otherwise, the new variable PHPRC should be correct. Make sure your PHP file is located in the top-tier of your C: directory as well.

I hope this helps
