Hello Everybody,
This is my code (very simple)

Code: Select all: <html> <head> <title>My First PHP Page</title> </head> <body> <?php echo "Hello World!"; ?> </body> </html>

I have it saved on my computer as test.php and when i run it, it shows up blank in the web browser, Im not sure how to get my php script working, in the XAMPP control panel, my apache service when ever i press start it wont say running like it does for mysql

if anybody could help me i would appreciate it

thank you! Id like to be able to see my php scrips run in chrome

Hi Zepher48,

i have moved your topic because it was in the german only part of the board.

Relating to your problem that your php code is not showing please read this post here: viewtopic.php?f=16&t=50849

Relating to your start issues please check if the needed ports are free (your XAMPP comes with a beta control panel which has much more functiinality. One of these is a netstat Button which shows you all the used ports. Check for the ports 80, 443 and 3306).
If this will not give any hint whats going on please check your \xampp\apache\logs\error.log for information.
And please check if you have already installed the Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 SP1 Redistributable Package (x86) Runtime. Thats a requirement for the Apache binary coming with the current XAMPP.

best wishes,
Altrea

My bad about posting in the wrong section.
Thank you for helping me, When i type in http://localhost/ in chrome, it says "Oops this link appears to be broken"

And for the ports, Skype is using 80, and 443, and mysql is using 3306.
What would be the best way to fix this, without disabling skype?
Thank you I really appreciate it

You can configure Skype to not use these ports.
Fix is described here: viewtopic.php?f=16&t=50078&p=193085&hilit=Skype#p193085

That was the fix!!!
After Doing that i reinstalled Xampp, and It works now!!!
Thank you so much Altrea! You are very helpful
