PHP configuration issue

[ebm]

I am running Apache2.2 on Windows XP and I just installed php5. 

 

I added these lines the the Apache config file:

 

PHPIniDir "C:/php/"

LoadModule php5_module "C:/php/php5apache2_2.dll"

AddType application/x-httpd-php .php

 

I uncommented the MySQL extension and added this to php.ini:

doc_root ="C:\Apache2.2\htdocs"

 

I made a file that simply runs the phpinfo() function to test whether or not the installation was

successful and all that came up was a blank screen.  I looked on the internet for common installation issues thinking php was not working, but then I made a few other test scripts that worked:

 

<?php

$x=1;

$x=$x+3;

print "$x is what x is equal to";

?>

 

<?php

print "HEllo world";

?>

 

My question is why would there be a blank screen for phpinfo().  I also get a blank screen when I make calls to session variables, even when there is html following the offending php. I am not totally sure if this is the correct forum since PHP is technically installed.  But I thought maybe I installed or configured something incorrectly?  I appreciate any help in advance.

>.< I'll be the guy that tells you to reinstall PHP (or at least repair it.)  Run the php-cgi.exe and see what it shows you.  There could be an error with an extension (though I doubt it.)

Yeah I uninstalled and reinstalled it a few times just to make sure, both with the msi installer and completely manually.  I ran php-cgi.exe anyway however, and there were no errors reported.

I gave up, uninstalled everything, and installed php, apache, and mysql using wamp.  I am still having the same problem.

If you get a blank screen I would recommend you to go into the php.ini and turn a setting called display_errors on. Save the php.ini and restart Apache/WAMP

 

If there is any errors PHP will now spit them out to the screen.
