Where going to need allot more information than that, have you checked your error logs at all?

actually apache s running with xampp control panel but it s not listed in the services of windows. that is causing problems to me. therefore the test.php document of mine is not found. error is that it is not found.

Apache is controlled by XAMPP. So there is more than likely a central service called XAMPP. You should be saving your .php files in C:\xampp\htdocs

 

You then ensure XAMPP is running. Then open your browser and go to http://localhost/ to run your script.

fine..!!

i have done that. but when i run localhost/test.php then nothing flashes.. ihave written hello world prog in that..is there any other way to run the test.php which i have placed in htdocs??

What code have you used in test.php? What do you mean by "nothing flashes"

 

PHP runs server side so you must invoke the webserver (Apache) in order for your php scripts to be parsed. There is no alternative way of executing a PHP script (unless you want to use the command line which will return the raw text).
