I've found there are some slight problems. PHP4.3 works great with Apache1.3. PHP4.0 or earlier works fine with Apache 2. But put the 2 together... The PHP site unhelpfully says that they don't recommend it.

However, this is my workaround, which I've got going with an identical setup to yours. sorry it's a bit formal, and I know you'll have done most of it already - I've copied and pasted it from a training manual I've just written.

* Stop Apache
* Download zip file, rather than win installer. Php-4.3.1-Win32.zip
* Extract contents to C:\php
* Copy php.ini-dist to your Windows directory – Windows in XP, WINNT in 2000. Rename it as php.ini
* Copy php4ts.dll from C:\php to C:\Windows\System32
* Edit php.ini in a text editor, as shown in the next few lines
* Find the line extension_dir = ./
* Amend to extension_dir = C:\php
* Save file
* Find line doc_root = ./
* Amend line to doc_root = C:\Program Files\Apache Group\Apache2\htdocs
* Save and close php.ini
* Open httpd.conf in text editor
* Look for lines beginning LoadModule
* Add these lines

LoadModule php4_module “C:/php/sapi/php4apache2.dll”
AddType application/x-httpd-php .php

* Save file
* Start Apache

I also had trouble with PHPMyAdmin, until I remembered I hadn't made an alias for the phpmyadmin folder - but then I can be real dense.

However, as an alternative to phpmyadmin, why not try DBManager from www.dbtools.com.br - it's superb.
