thamarai Posted June 7, 2012 Share Posted June 7, 2012 Hello All, I am a noob at PHP. I installed xampp on localhost to create a joomla site. The site works fine locally when testing with browsers. The phpinfo() in the xampp welcome page brings up all the specifications of installed php just fine. Then I decided to learn php properly, created a test folder in htdocs, and then tried this example from w3schools (http://www.w3schools.com/php/php_forms.asp). When I run them, i saw that in all the browsers the php portion was not working. Then I tried even simpler examples and php is just not being recognized. For example something simple as this: <html> <head></head> <body> Welcome! <br /> <?php // print output echo 'Hello World!'; ?> </body> </html> when I run this file, the browser only displays 'welcome!'. What am I doing wrong Please help me out... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
