Hi I know that this post has been covered but there is no solution to find.
I downloaded the .exe for XAMPP Windows 1.7.3 and followed the set instruction.
When finished I had port 80 problem with starting apache on the xampp control panel. My solution was to stop IIS service and I was able to start apache.
I tried the sample php program but it does not work.
Please some one help because I have spent too long looking at web pages without getting an answer
