installing php on xp pro (help)

[chelsea7]

I'm having problems getting PHP to run on my system. I have an html form that is supoose to take the information and display it in the IE 6 browser and also send the contents via email. However, with I press the submit button on the form, I goes to the php file but the browser does not display anything. No email is sent either and no errors. According to the Install file that comes along with the download , it states that when this happens, the server and php are configured wrong. I currently have Windows XP Pro with IIS 5 installed. I downloaded the PHP interpeter from php.net. I first used the MS package installer. I uninstalled it and downloaded the Zip file. I even uninstalled IIS 5 and I still couldn't get it to work. Can anyone help me on this one? Does it work on XP Pro?

Thank you
Kyle

First of all you should try running a simple test script on your server. Something like...

<?

echo "PHP Working";

?>

save it and call it from the web browser.. if nothing appears then it is a configuration problem or if something does appear then it means that the other script you were running had an error and you have the "display_errors" option set to "off" in the php.ini file.

Try these suggestions then get back to us.
