premium4ya Posted June 10, 2012 Share Posted June 10, 2012 Hello everyone in the forum I am new in PHP, and I hope to get some help from here. I have installed Apache 2.2 and it worked fine, but after I have installed PHP, it stops working. When I Uninstall PHP, the Apache works but the browser stop displaying PHP, instead it displays (open with) dialog box. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PeoMachine Posted June 10, 2012 Share Posted June 10, 2012 Try to use a Apache, MySQL, PHP distribution, like XAMPP, WAMP, LAMPP, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZulfadlyAshBurn Posted June 10, 2012 Share Posted June 10, 2012 You have to enable PHP to be view in your system. It's rather complicated. I had it on my "mini: server. I would suggest as PeoMachine to get those softwares. I personally use LAMP at this moment. Works great! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I know all these distribution is for linux, but I am using Windows XP SP3. Well there ya go! WAMP and XAMPP are specifically designed for Windows. Try 'em out.

Thank you a lot for your reply. But the instructions says: Step 3: configure php.ini Copy C:\php\php.ini-recommended to C:\php\php.ini. There are several lines you will need to change in a text editor (use search to find the current setting). I can't find such .ini. Only (php.ini-development) and (php.ini-production) are available.

ZulfadlyAshBurn Posted June 11, 2012 Share Posted June 11, 2012 If you are working with PHP 5.3, the php.ini-recommeded has been changed to php.ini-development or php.ini-production. I would suggest you to use php.ini-development i to start with if you're just testing it out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have named it (PHP), and in Environment Variables (php). Thank you all for your valuable help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
