unfortunately by entering that script, my borwser tries to load it but nothing happens...the problem is, I don't know if theres a problem with my IIS 5 configuration or my php configuration (php.ini).....I configured everything 100's of times trying to troubleshoot the problem but no luck. Is there a way to see if my php is the problem, and is there a way to see if the problem lies with my IIS?

is there a simple way to see if my computer running on IIS 5 is recognizing my php 5? (I need to troubleshoot my problem with my PHP trying to see why its not working)

unfortunately configuring iis to include executing the php_cgi.exe with the .php extension didn't work. I'm still getting the 'file download' pop up window (even after restarting iis 5).... any suggestions anyone?  it doesnt seem to be a common problem based on my internet research for this problem. (i bet the answer is right in front of me but i can't see it)

thanks....i thought I did configure my IIS.  I'm assuming by adding to the variable path (in the environmental variable) to see the php directory i.e. "C:/php" is enough. Is there more to that?  Is there a specific place to configure the IIS that i'm missing?

[b]Problem:[/b] I simply want to test my php (in order to see if its running properly) and when I try the simple script: <? phpinfo(); ?> a popup window "FILE DOWNLOAD - Would you like to open the file or save it on the computer..." I'm pretty sure I've installed PHP properly (by following the install steps provided with the installation) Can someone please point me to the right direction. Hopefully someone has seen this problem before. Here's what i'm using: - PHP v5.2 - Windows XP - IIS v5 - I properly set the environmental variable path properly "C:\php" - I properly included a system variable "PHPRC" to "C:\php" - I properly downloaded the PECL scripts and put them in the php folder (however I read I should take out the actionscript from that folder and put it in the php root folder, which i did) so is there anything i forgot, please let me know.  thanks
