PHP not working (XAMPP INSTALLATION)
Posted: 16. June 2009 14:58I have installed XAMP (basic package) using the installer, which I downloaded from: http://www.apachefriends.org/en/xampp-windows.html
I´m using Xindows XP 5.1.26 and expected the installation to be fully automated.
However, after an apparent successful installation, I checked if PHP was working by opening a simple PHP file using Mozilla: C:/xampp/htdocs/test.php
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd">
<html>
<head>
<title>Tough first script</title>
</head>
<body>
<h1>The very first script</h1>
<p>
This is the first script!
</p>
<p>
<?php
echo "This is PHP code";
?>
</p>
</body>
</html>
THE PROBLEM:
Since "This is PHP code" does not appear, PHP is not recognizing PHP code.
QUESTION:
What configurations should I check/change to make sure that my browser is able to recognize PHP code?
