Hi.
I am new to php and Apache, and servers in general. I am running on Windows XP Home (for now.). I'm trying to learn PHP, and have installed Apache 2.0.58 as a testing server, and so that I can learn something about running a server at the same time.
I've installed PHP5.2.2.0, and followed the configuration instructions provided withthe PHP dwnload. I've set the path, renamed php.ini-recommended to php.ini, placed the configuration statements in Apache's httpd.conf, tested the configuration via Apache's test configuration feature. No errors were reported.
I then started doing exercises from my PHP book, and put them in htdocs. But when I try to access them with my web browser, I get blank pages. View source shows that the php code is being passed directly to the browser. I tried the same scripts on my web host (dreamhost.com), and they work just fine.
Can someone tell me what I might have missed in the install/configuration process?
