I'm new to php programming and still learning. i installed xampp and both apache and mysql are indicated as running in the xampp control pannel. when i type http://localhost/ it takes me to the xampp main page.
but the php file i created using notepad wouldn't load. its a simple program with a single php line. i saved it in the htdocs folder ;
D:\xampp\htdocs\project1\test.php
when i try to view this page the following error show up;
Object not found!
The requested URL was not found on this server. If you entered the URL manually please check your spelling and try again.
If you think this is a server error, please contact the webmaster.

the browser i am using is firefox, i tried view the page saving it directly in the htdocs folder but it still wont work, but the index.php page which was in xampp by default in the htdocs folder works fine.
please help me to solve this problem, thank you in advance
