Hm... Tried. Tested. It works now!!!! Thanks.

<? php phpinfo(); ?> That is the code in the file. That is why I posted this as a problem. I have run another php script I have and this one works with no errors so it seems everything works fine...but this parse error for phpinfo still stays...should I enable something in php.ini?

I have tried installing PHP+Apache on WinXP through this tutorial. I have done it all except change hosts file in drivers/etc because I can't edit it. I tried as suggested elsewhere to open via search-then pick users:admin but I can't save changed file. Now I have run into this problem. I created test.php page in order to run phpinfo() and I get this error in localhost: Parse error: parse error in C:\server\www\****\public_html\test.php on line 2 Which confuses me. I used Notepad++ and saved simple php file and it says it's wrong syntax. Can this not editing hosts file be the cause of the problem or is it something else? (( on hosts file it says it was created by Spybot S&D and just won't allow to be saved once changed. If anybody knows a solution for that it would be appreciated as well)) Thanks in advance

I have THE file and don't need to know what each line of code does, nor run it on my PC. If I post THE code, you'll get one really poor HTML 3,2 with zillion of deprecated tags that I need no explaination at all as I know them. Will download Textpad and let you know if that is what I needed. Thanks for help!!! Downloaded Textpad. Opened file. Shows HTML code that I could get with Notepad. Not what I needed. *** Since nobody was able to give me the yes/no answer on my question and after downloading two programs that I do not need, I'll accept that there's no way that I could open that file. I'll no longer visit this board so don't bother to reply. Thanks for trying to help me out.

[b]My question: Is there a standalone program that can enable to open an existing .php file along with .php code, yes or no.[/b] Anything else is bumping a thread and digresion. Don't post what I haven't asked for.

I know that is a php file cuz when I give it a command, it displays different output. For eg, I have created a HTML file that has this kind of command: a href='file.php?display=daisies' and it does. But that is a wild guess, I want to know all other commands in that php file without me guessing them. Cuz right now, what I need for figuring that file is something I can't tell if it's part of JavaScript or DoMath or something else, or it may be two words of php code....it will take me ages to figure it...and I want to know it NOW, not in a few months... So if there is no way I see it in a php way, tell me immediatelly so I don't waste my time on hoping for it...

LOL, you mean the author should write it for me again and save it as text file and send it over. I meant to figure it without his knowledge... EDIT: I don't have anything PHP related installed on my PC cuz I don't need it...or do I? I DUNNO!!!

OK, I don't want to write my own code...yet. I just want to see how this particular file was made, along with .php tags and I wonder if that is possible. I downloaded Editpad cuz supposely they'd show the code but I just saw the HTML output.I uploaded the file on Ripway.com, cuz they support PHP but they also showed html output in their 'edit' section. Is there anything that will acctually show the code of the .php file and can be downloaded for free?
