jimmyborofan Posted September 17, 2008 Share Posted September 17, 2008 I have a real pain, I have installed and uninstalled - reinstalled, deleted removed added changed mixed around added to Path copied dll's all over the place, and this is what happens: Whenever I try to view a .php page via IIS (XP Pro btw) what happens is not what I expected: I tried this: <? PHPINFO() ?> and this is what is displayed: <? PHPINFO() ?> normally if the install has not worked it asks me if I would like to download the file rather than display what it is supposed to do. I get is the file in text with no PHP working at all. if I try this: <html> <head> <title>My First PHP Page</title> </head> <body> <?php echo "Hello World!"; ?> </body> </html> All I get is a blank browser screen Please can any body give me an idea of what I am doing wrong, if you need any more info please just ask and I will post back ASAP. Many thanks in advance Jimmy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zane Posted September 17, 2008 Share Posted September 17, 2008 are you running IIS 5 or 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimmyborofan Posted September 17, 2008 Author Share Posted September 17, 2008 As far as I am aware it is 5.1 it is the srandard set up that comes with XP, I have to ask though does it make a difference if it is 5.1 or 6? I didnt know... Jimmy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zane Posted September 17, 2008 Share Posted September 17, 2008 here are two excellent tutorials PHP on IIS 5.0 http://www.sitepoint.com/article/php-amp-mysql-1-installation/2/ PHP on IIS 6.0 http://www.visualwin.com/PHP-ISAPI/ I have to ask though does it make a difference if it is 5.1 or 6? It makes a difference in where all the options are. On 5, you just click a tab that says ISAPI filters and add PHP to it. On 6 you have to go to the extensions menu. EDIT: Also, I'm going to have to move this topic to PHP Installations. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jimmyborofan Posted September 17, 2008 Author Share Posted September 17, 2008 Thanks for the speedy replies people I am going to try Apache one more time as I was unable to install the Apache::ASP mod, but the link provided says that it is included within the perl mod, so I am going to try it. I am also going to try the tutorials first as I dont really want to move away from IIS as I have grown pretty used to it over the time Thanks peeps no doubt as I am a newbie to PHP I am likely to be on here a little more to bug you all!

jimmyborofan Posted September 17, 2008 Author Share Posted September 17, 2008 Yay! Thanks a lot peeps It is all working perfectly now, I used the first tutorial and realised that the extensions directory was not set correctly and the ISAPI filters were not pointed correctly either. I have resolved this issue and my thanks go to all who helped Jimmy PS can I give rep points on here? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
