PHP Installation

[spectacularstuff]

I have Windows Vista, IIS7.

 

I downloaded and installed PHP 5.25 using the Windows Installer.

I want to use ISAPI module.

 

I followed the instructions on the following website:

http://blogs.iis.net/bills/archive/2006/09/19/How-to-install-PHP-on-IIS7-_2800_RC1_2900_.aspx

 

However, when I attempt to check to see if this is going to work

I open IE and go to c:/inetpub/SCRFix/home.php instead of seeing the webpage it just attempts to bring up a download box as if I was downloading a file.

 

Any ideas?

 

Thanks,

goto

http://localhost/SCRFix/home.php

or

http://localhost/home.php

depending on the web root path

Thanks.  That worked.

Hi, i need to be able to access some resources so that i can get to grips with php rather quickly for my new job.  having just left college, i've got programming experience in languages such as visual basic 6, Pascal and actionscript, but have very little in php. i can't seem to find any resources that will enable me to get experience with the various syntax without connecting my machine to a server.  can you recommend me any useful resources so that i can get used to it? thanks, James

http://www.php.net is probably the best manual on the web..

you can run PHP locally, download and install WAMPServer, other than that your need you try some tutorials

Google php tutorials

i hope that helps, but overall, experience comes with time.
