After installing apache and configuring it, I'm not sure what the problem is. I have a sample php file that returns the variable x as a different variable for outputting. I go to the server directory and run the php file (no variable definition it states, so then I append a variable to the end on the address bar, and it still doens't work)...
localhost\test.php
no variable x defined
localhost\test.php?x=1
no variable x defined
-- Did I not define x when I appended it to the end, so is the problem php, or apache?
Called from local setup:
http://127.0.0.1/test.php?x=1
<?
echo "&test=$x";
?>
Undefined variable: x in test.php on line 2
