Trying to do this on a Windows 7 64 bit and having big problems getting it to work 
Tried an msi installer to begin with but didn't seem to be compatible with windows 7
uninstalled Apache and then installed it following these instructions
http://lifeofageekadmin.com/how-install-apache-2-4-php-5-4-and-mysql-5-5-21-on-windows-7/
now when i command prompt:
c:\apache24\bin\httpd -k install
says it is already installed
but now apache wont start at all. any ideas?

I found using WAMP much easier on windows that installing everything bit by bit. It installs all the bits you need for you.

WAMP/XAMP is your best bet as it'll install the whole *AMP stack (apache, mysql, php; also includes PHPMyAdmin/SQLBuddy) and comes with a nice config/menu setup.

ok i've installed wamp now and been trying to make it so i can create multiple virtual sites.
added this in my C:\windows\system32\drivers\etc hosts file
127.0.0.1 client1.localhost
changed
Listen 80 to
Listen *:80
added following to httpd.conf file:
# Tells Apache to identify which site by name
NameVirtualHost *:80
# Tells Apache to serve the default WAMP Server page to "localhost"
<VirtualHost 127.0.0.1>
ServerName localhost
DocumentRoot "C:/wamp/www"
</VirtualHost>
# Tells Apache to serve Client 1's pages to "client1.localhost"
# Duplicate and modify this block to add another client
<VirtualHost 127.0.0.1>
# The name to respond to
ServerName client1.localhost
# Folder where the files live
DocumentRoot "C:/wamp/client1"
# A few helpful settings...
<Directory "C:/wamp/client1">
allow from all
order allow,deny
# Enables .htaccess files for this site
AllowOverride All
</Directory>
# Apache will look for these two files, in this order, if no file is specified in the URL
DirectoryIndex index.html index.php
</VirtualHost>
but when i navigate to http://client1.localhost/
i get Forbidden
You don't have permission to access / on this server
think its something to do with order, deny, allow but cant figure it out

Is that your config or did you use the 'Add Virtual host' option on WAMP? But you should use the VirtualHost.conf that is in WAMP rather than http.conf (if you use http.conf then stick it at the bottom).
Try something like -
code:
Listen 80
NameVirtualHost *:80
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName localhost
DocumentRoot "C:/wamp/www"
</VirtualHost>
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName client1.localhost
DocumentRoot "C:/wamp/client1"
</VirtualHost>
Edit - Virtual host conf is '\wamp\bin\apache\Apache2.2.21\conf\extra\httpd-vhosts.conf', just uncomment the include in 'http.conf'.
Also flush your DNS.

Actually go with below for your virtual host conf (make sure no other virtual hosts are listed) -
code:
NameVirtualHost *:80
<VirtualHost *:80>
DocumentRoot "C:/wamp/client1"
ServerName client1.localhost
<Directory "C:/wamp/client1">
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride None
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>

this is my virtual host conf do i tag that on the end or replace the whole lot
# Virtual Hosts
#
# Required modules: mod_log_config
# If you want to maintain multiple domains/hostnames on your
# machine you can setup VirtualHost containers for them. Most configurations
# use only name-based virtual hosts so the server doesn't need to worry about
# IP addresses. This is indicated by the asterisks in the directives below.
#
# Please see the documentation at
# <URL:http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.4/vhosts/>
# for further details before you try to setup virtual hosts.
#
# You may use the command line option '-S' to verify your virtual host
# configuration.
#
# VirtualHost example:
# Almost any Apache directive may go into a VirtualHost container.
# The first VirtualHost section is used for all requests that do not
# match a ServerName or ServerAlias in any <VirtualHost> block.
#
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerAdmin webmaster@dummy-host.example.com
DocumentRoot "c:/Apache24/docs/dummy-host.example.com"
ServerName dummy-host.example.com
ServerAlias www.dummy-host.example.com
ErrorLog "logs/dummy-host.example.com-error.log"
CustomLog "logs/dummy-host.example.com-access.log" common
</VirtualHost>
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerAdmin webmaster@dummy-host2.example.com
DocumentRoot "c:/Apache24/docs/dummy-host2.example.com"
ServerName dummy-host2.example.com
ErrorLog "logs/dummy-host2.example.com-error.log"
CustomLog "logs/dummy-host2.example.com-access.log" common
</VirtualHost>

Remove everything in httpd-vhosts.conf then stick in the new config. Just make sure you uncomment the include within http.conf.

did what you said and the whole apache crashed and couldn't restart it and had to reinstall so i've given up on that part for now.
can't even get it working basically with PHP right now as i knocked up a test page with this code on it, and it won't even process that it's just displaying it as the whole code and not processing it
code:
< html >
< head >
< title > PHP Testing< /title >
< /head >
< body > < ?php echo “ < p > If you see this then we did it right! < /p > ”; ? >
< /body >
< /html >
if i make a file in php with this though it will bring all the php info up so it must be working
code:
<?php
phpinfo();
?>

You've got a load of spaces in your first example. Ditch them as the PHP opening tag is <?php and the closing is ?>.

Also, you including inline php in a file with a .html extension? That won't work by default so you need to use the .php extension.
