hi altrea , i got the solution from your answer "How do you try it to view in the browsers?"
i should have type http://localhost/series/index.php and not file:///C:/xampp/htdocs/series/index.php.

What should we do with that information? There isn't even a question in your posting.
A solution for one of the many "php not working" issues is given in this thread here. Already tried that out?

best wishes,
Altrea

P.S.: Is your profile correct? Do you still use XAMPP 1.6.3a?
