  1. Yes, "http://localhost/mystuffchris/helloworld.php" solved it... Thanks very much! Well Chuffed now!
  2. Yes I have been told that I have to use my server to load the page, before I was loading the page by simply using windows explorer and navigating to the xampp htdocs folder (C:\xampp\htdocs\mystuffchris\helloWorld.php) and double-clicking the file. But I have also tried typing "http://localhost/helloWorld.php" in the address bar, also have tried "http://localhost/xampp/htdocs/mystuffchris/helloWorld.php". Although the result is... ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Object not found! The requested URL was found on this server. If you entered the URL manually please check your spelling and try again. If you think this is a server error, please contact the webmaster. Error 404 localhost 06/17/09 15:04:15 Apache/2.2.9 (win32)/DAV/2 mod_ssl/2.2.9 OpenSSL/0.9.8h mod_autoindex_color PHP /5.2.6 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Am I using the URL address bar correctly? XAMPP is running, could I have it configured incorrectly? Thanks for the help.
  3. Can somebody help me out with getting started? Php doesn't work for me, I've tried a simple HelloWorld.php script and I'm just getting a blank page in my browser. The file is saved in the correct directory (file:///C:/xampp/htdocs/mystuffchris/helloWorld.php) as far as I know. The code used is... <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd"> <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"> <head> <title>Hello World</title> </head> <body> <p><?php echo "Hello World"; ?></p> </body> </hmtl> I've also tried using Php with a Html form with action="borderMaker.php". Here's borderMaker.php sourcecode... <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd"> <html lang="EN" dir="ltr" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"> <head> <title>Your Output</title> </head> <body> <h1>Your Output</h1> <div style = "text-align: center"> <?php //retrieve all the variables $basicText = filter_input(INPUT_POST, "basicText"); $borderSize = filter_input(INPUT_POST, "borderSize"); $sizeType = filter_input(INPUT_POST, "sizeType"); $borderStyle = filter_input(INPUT_POST, "borderStyle"); $theStyle = <<<HERE "border-width:$borderSize$sizeType; border-style:$borderStyle; border-color:green" HERE; print "<div style = $theStyle>"; print $basicText; print "</div>"; ?> </div> </body> </html> When I use the Html form and click the Submit button I just get text in the browser like this... YOUR OUTPUT ";print $basicText;print " "; ?> The files are saved with the correct extensions. I have tried using Firefox and Internet Explorer, tried both Xampp and Wampserver, my browser just won't recognise the Php. I know this is a log post for what I suspect is a real Noob problem but I'd be really greatful of any advice, thanks. EDITED BY akitchin: please use code tags in future postings.
