Help needed with xamppsecurity.php and xampp directory files

[sean]

I installed XAMPP 1.4.14 for windows and entered '127.0.0.1 and got http://127.0.0.1/xampp/splash.php.
Then I clicked on english and it went to http://127.0.0.1/xampp/lang.php?en, but the page was totally blank in both IE6 and Firefox. No matter which language I pick I get a blank page.

http://127.0.0.1/xampp/xamppsecurity.php shows the PHP Script on the page-
This is the first part
FORBIDDEN FOR CLIENT $remoteclient
"; exit; } } global $authphpmyadmin; include(".\securefunctions.php"); $curdir = getcwd(); list ($partwampp, $directorwampp) = spliti ('\\\htdocs', $curdir); $mypasswdtxt="mysqlrootpasswd.txt"; etc

Even the phpinfo.php file in the xampp directory won't work.
But PHP is working in other scripts in htdocs.

Does anyone know how to fix this?

I installed XAMPP 1.4.14 for windows

- Installer / ZIP?
- You have run "setup_xampp.bat"?
- Operating System?
- ServicePack?

But PHP is working in other scripts in htdocs.

There are no PHP scripts in "\xampp\htdocs\"?

Sorry about not giving all the details.
I used the installer, my operating system is XP and service pack 1.

I am trying to learn PHP5 and am working my way through a book. I'm in chapter 1 at the moment. I put these files in htdocs. They are things like phpinfo() and echo() and writing functions.

Someone suggested reinstalling XAMPP, so I did and now it works.
