Maybe Alexander wouldn't live very long at all, heh.
I think Philip would have taken on the Persians also but wouldn't campaign as far away from Greece as Alexander would. I think He would conquer Asia Minor,Syria,Phoenicia,Israel and Judea and that would be about it.

I'm a little less optimistic than other posters thus far. I can see Philip taking control of Sardis and the western chunk of Asia Minor, but that's about it. Amazing a man as he was, he wasn't his son.
I think you have to explain the term "lucky" you related to Alexander,and,of course why...
I think he would accept the offer made by Darius OTL about a border on the Euphrates, then, (if he's still alive) invade the rest anyway once the inevitable Persian civil war comes around
