Installation of PHP in Windows XP Pro

netty

I have Windows XP Pro on my machine. I was working in ASP.net using Microsoft ASP.net Web Matrix.

I want to install PHP on my machine and start working in it. I have php406-installer with me. I have installed it in my C drive. In the installer Wizard, I have choosen to configure with IIS 4 or above and in IIS script Map Node Selection, I have choosen WWW Service Master properties.

Installation has been successful.

What else do I have to do to work with PHP on my system? I have created a Hello World Program but in browser, it didn't show me the proper results?

Pl help urgently

Thanks a lot

What do you see instead in your browser when you type in?

<?php print "Hello world!"; ?>

I have not installed PHP with IIS in a while, but I will see what I can do to help you solve your problem.

Thanks for your help!!

This is my program and in the explorer I see it in the similar way:

<html>
<h3>My first PHP Program</h3>
<?php print "Hello world!"; ?>
</html>

It works with IIS also but don't know how?

So it doesn't even display the HTML properly?

Hi,

It is working now. In the code the problem was in copying the code here. The main problem was that I was not saving the file in wwwroot of inetpub. I saved the files in wwwroot and in the browser, the path I gave as

http://localhost/php/test.php

Its working fine.

Thanx for ur help.
