You bet it is. There are a number of books out right now for PHP, or PHP under Apache, many of which cover PHP on Windows.
I have one myself, but for the life of me, can’t recall the title. It covers both Linux and Windows-based solutions. Check your local bookstore if you want more info.

Hi,
It’s straight forward if you want to use apache – you can get a full unstallation program, see http://www.firepages.com.au – comes fully pre-configured, even has some applications ready to go. – only trouble is if you need to make the system co-exist with IIS on the same server – it’s simplest (yes you can do it), to make the IIS system work on port 8080, and let apache use port 80 – i.e. the standard web page port. You can make apache use port 8080 instead, but I’ve not done that.
Your alternative is to try and get php running with IIS – I’ve heard it can be done, (apparently best to use CGI mode), but I’ve not seen too much success myself with this as yet….
Hope this helps
Carl.
