Installing PHP help...Please

andy_peo

Hi Guys

as you can see this is my first post...so be gentil with me.

My system is a windows 2003 server with IIS ver 6

I have run through the php-4.3.4-installer.exe and tryed to install it manually.

I have had some sucess because the

<? phpinfo(); ?> in a file called phpinfo.php

Works although it say the ini file is in c:\php\php.ini....how do i change this to look at c:\windows\php.ini ?

I have also created a small html file (hello world) that doesnt work I just get a blank screen the code for this is

<html>
<head>
<title>PHP Test</title>
</head>
<body>
<?php echo "<p>Hello World</p>"; ?>
</body>
</html>

Can anybody help why this simple html page wont work

Thanks inadvance

Regards

Andy

Did you remember to copy the php.ini file to windows? If so, that is where php looks for it.

Did you remember to save the html file with a .php extension?

Hi Andy

How's the weather in Hull. Miserable like here huh?

If you want a good(ish) editor to write xhtml\html\java\css\php etc with good features, for free, try WebCoder 4. It has a few parsing issues (obscure) but is very good, with autofil.
