Did I choose the correct download?

My operating system is Windows XP Pro. I was advised to download Apache
1.3 if I want to work with PHP, so I went to
http://httpd.apache.org/download.cgi and found the Apache 1.3 download
section.

It offered the following choices:

         * Unix Source: apache_1.3.29.tar.gz [PGP] [MD5]
         * Unix Source: apache_1.3.29.tar.Z [PGP] [MD5]
         * Win32 Binary (Self extracting):
apache_1.3.29-win32-x86-no_src.exe [PGP] [MD5]
         * Other files

I assumed Win32 was for all Windows programs, but the first line of the
README file says, "Apache is an HTTP server, originally designed for
Unix systems. This is the version of Apache for Microsoft Windows 2000,
NT, 98, and 95 systems."

Why doesn't it mention Windows XP? Do I need to download another program?
