Hey, I am a beginner to programming and I am having some major issues. I was told that I could download Apache2.2 MySQL, and PHP5, as well as phpmyAdmin, and test out my scripts before uploading them to my webhost. I did this, and went through the whole process wonderfully, until i was supposedly "through" installing everything, I tried out a script and tried to view it through the browser after putting it in my htdocs folder.....however, it's not showing up at all! I did the test.php thing with phpinfo() and it all pulled up, meaning that Apache2.2 can read the .php files, but when I put in index.php with the code <?php echo "Hello World!"; ?> it still doesn't pull up anything! Not even Hello World! I'm in desperate need of help, anyways well, i did everything I was supposed to do to install those programs.
After a while I downloaded XAMPP by suggestion, stating it was easier to use. BUT, before I downloaded it, I was having this problem.....NOTHING displays. Not even helloworld! Nothing shows up. Can someone please help get my php codes to show???? PLEASE!!!!!!! I'm using OS Windows XP!! Apache2.2, PhpMYADMIN, PHP5, and MySQL
