Embedded php doesn't work

tipa

Hello,
I’m new to php. I’ve just installed php 4.2.3 on win 2000 pro (IIS installed). I was trying to run a simple code :

I saved it with extension .php, and tried to open it through the browser (explorer 6.0). I got a blank webpage… The extensions for php were added to my computer, does anyone have an idea how to get the embedded php to work?

Thanks,
tipa

alo

under the inetpub/wwwroot directory and make sure IIS is running.

Then paste the following code into the browser....

http://localhost/hello.php

I am running XP and IE 6.0 and it works great.
good luck

Why not just use ASP? It works good with Windows =)

Click on the Internet Information Services in your Administrative Tools, then "Web Sites" right click on the site you want to configure for PHP, select "Properties", click the "Home Directory" tab followed by the "Configuration" Button. Under Document Mapping, make sure that .php extension is there and that it has the path to php.exe is specified correctly for all verbs (or at least GET, HEAD, POST and DEBUG). Restart IIS and give it a shot. Also, make sure that your PHP.ini (should be located in the Windows directory) file has the following line in it

display_errors = On
