First off you need to set your variable to something like

$var = "hello world";

then you can echo it ie

<?php
$var = "hello world";
echo $var;
?>

second make sure the script is in the servers root directiory.
I.e on apache it is the

htdocs folder

third if that stuff does not fix it I don't know what is wrong lol 😉

Ps here is a good test script

<?php
phpinfo();
?>

this shows your php configuration.

look..

this is how i access to my file, which takes one argument from query string!!!

temp.php?var=123

and i get the error the page cannot be found

if i access to the page like this

temp.php

everything is okay!¨

i know where is the root, i have IIS and I DON'T WANT HELLO WORLD script to work!!!

Well, the obvious answer would be to ditch IIS and install Apache. IIS is a terrible web server, and I would bet that is where the problem lies. There might be someplace in it that you can configure it to work with urls containing vars... but I'm sure figuring that out would be just as hard, if not harder, than just installing Apache.

Just my $.02. 😉
