if you create your testing.php file and put in the following code your php settings will be displayed if installed correctly.

[code]<?php
phpinfo ();
?>[/code]

to test if your PHP installation is successful, simply type this script in the address field of the explorer

http://localhost/testing.php

if succesful, your PHP settings will be shown...
