I'm new to PHP, found and installed XAMPP - and was able to run the C:/xampp/htdocs/xampp/splash.php file by entering http://localhost/xampp/splash.php in Firefox.

But when I try to save & run a simple script named c:/xampp/htdocs/xampp/MYphpinfo.php using http://localhost/xampp/MYphpinfo.php
<?
phpinfo();
?>

it doesn't run - or all I get is a blank page.

So, what is the rule for locating files in the XAMPP folder, and what is considered the "root" folder?

c:/xampp/htdocs/MYphpinfo.php
it should work

and what is considered the "root" folder?

Your root folder is the DocumentRoot ("C:\xampp\htdocs")

Code: Select all

<?

Use:

Code: Select all

<?php

OK, thanks to both - that seems to have cleared it up!
