phpMyadmin

[brainfreeze]

I am using Windows XP. I have no prior experience in PHP, MYsql, Apache and phpMyadmin.

 

Installed :

1.Apache2. It is running okay.(C:\Program Files\Apache Group)

2.MySql. I guess it is okay as my dreamweaver connects. (C:\Program Files\MySQL)

3.PHP version 5.2.10 (C:\Program Files\PHP)

4.phpMyAdmin-3.2.0.1(C:\Program Files\Apache Group\Apache2\htdocs) cut and pasted files here.

 

--I was hoping to work with phpMyAdmin--

 

This is my problem-

When I type in the browser directory http://localhost/phpmyadmin, a Opening dialog box appears indicating: You have chosen to open

which is a: application/x-http-php

from:http//localhost

what should Firefox do with this file?

 

When I select the Browse with Fireffox, it downloads a FLV file. The page will then display:

File Not Found

Firefox can't find the file at /C:/DOCUME~1/dominic/LOCALS~1/Temp/navigation.php<?php echo $url_query; ?>.

 

When my mouse rollover the browser tab it reads:

phpmyadmin<php echo PMA_VERSION; ?><?php echo htmlspecialchars($HTTP_HOST); ?>

 

The browser directory will then read:

file:///C:/DOCUME~1/dominic/LOCALS~1/Temp/tiT1tIgG-1.part

 

Note:

1. I made the neccessary ammdments to httpd.conf file.

LoadModule php5_module "C:/Program Files/PHP/php5apache2.dll"

AddType application/x-http-php .php

 

2. Copied and pasted the C:\Program Files\PHP\libmySQL.dll file to C:\WINDOWS\system32.

 

 

Where am I wrong here? I need to check if PHP is parsing. So I had a php file placed in the phpmyadmin folder named echo.php. Here are the scripts:

<?php echo "Test"; ?>

 

It still downloads.

The browser displayed a blank page...with the browser's directory displaying:

file:///C:/DOCUME~1/dominic/LOCALS~1/Temp/echo-6.php

 

Any initiatives to take? I am lost here.
