can u mention what error u r getting while executing the script ?

try this code (in its own file)

 

<?php
phpinfo();
?>

 

if this fails please refer to the XAMP Manual

you can't actually explore a php file in the same way you can an html file.

 

 

In the xamp istallation folder there should be a folder in there called www

 

You need to place everything you want to be processed by php in this folder

 

You then type

 

http://localhost/test.php

 

in your browser

 

(localhost refers to the www folder.)

 

This shoudl now be working

unless you redefine your apache, httpd.conf and re-assign the root path.

then again; MadTechie i think is trying to get the phpinfo() to display

which will show where the problem would be.

Kinda, sorry got the quick message, was on the phone at the same time..

 

basically we need more info.. mainly what the error is..

 

it could be anything from IE is crashing or not finding the site to a php error..

now by creating a simple script we have a test base.. also it will give us more info

 

if the script fails then i can only assume theirs a problem with the XAMP side or thing.. if it works then we still need the error to workout the problem.. the most common problem i find the the use of short tags

 

ie <? should be <?php
