[RESOLVED] Doesn't execute PHP code - new install PHP5.2.3/Apache2.2/WinXP

WacoDan

I have installed PHP 5.2.3 on Apache 2.2 on Windows XP SP2. can serve static pages using Apache fine. I have installed and configured PHP. However, when I access a PHP page on the server, the page is loaded int he browser but the code is not executed. For example, index.php contains "Today is <? print strftime("%m/%d/%Y"); ?>". When viewed via a browser the page reads simply "Today is"

Could somebody give me a pointer here to please to what might be misconfigured? The relevant lines of config in apache covering PHP are:

PHPIniDir "C:/php"
LoadModule php5_module "c:/php/php5apache2_2.dll"
AddType application/x-httpd-php .php .php5
#Action application/x-httpd-php "/php/php-win.exe"
SetEnv PHPRC "C:/php"

Any pointers to what I might have configured incorrectly much appreciated!

Many thanks

I would guess that short PHP tags have no been enabled (that is the default). The simple solution is to use normal PHP tags, i.e., <?php

Thanks, that was exactly the problem. How embarassing for it to be something so minor!
Many thanks
