I've installed xampp and I can't get it to work. This is how's my cp set up..

I save files to C:\xampp\htdocs

What am I doing wrong?

Oh, I forgot to say that I'm trying to work with simple php, without any sqls or anything else. I'm a newbie, though.

The last message is: "Apache service started". So what is your problem?

Problem is that my php file can't be previewed in any of browsers. I saved files to the htdocs directory and nothing happens...actually it opens blank page.

What I'm trying to do is in html to fill some form, and then call a php file which should display the form parts.

These are my files..

You script must start with

<?php

instead of

<?

It's starting with <?php, and whether it's that or <? should be the same.
Those are two ways for starting php scripts, and both ways can be used. It's up to writer to decide what to use.

When I preview the page in dw (with preview/debug in browser) this message pops up..

What do I have to set up so the page will be displayed properly?

- you have the file "display.php" in "\xampp\htdocs"
- if you open the file with "http://localhost/display.php" you don't see the text "User information:"
