I have problem with instalation of xammp.When I tipe in editor:
<html>
<head>
<title>PHP Test</title>
</head>
<body>
<p>This is an HTML line
<?php
echo “<p>This is a PHP line</p>”;
phpinfo();
?>
</body>
</html>
I get this response in my explorer:
This is an HTML line This is a PHP line

”; phpinfo(); ?>
I tried to instal php and Apach without xammp and the problem still hier.

Welcome to PHPBuilder! When posting PHP code, please use the board's [noparse]

..

[/noparse] bbcode tags as they make your code much easier to read and analyze.

What is the name of the file that contains the above code? How are you trying to access that file?

Also note that this:

<?php
echo “<p>This is a PHP line</p>”;
phpinfo();
?>

is going to cause a parse error; those "curly quotes" are not standard double quotes, nor will PHP recognize them as such. In other words, whatever "editor" you were using was definitely not one meant for producing PHP code (or any other type of programming language).

The name of the file is "p.php".I use Notepad++,and I tried with every posible double

qoutes and it's always the same.Apach works but it's like it doesn't work with PHP code.I don't no what's the problem.Why phpinfo(),doesn't give the information about php version.In my explorerI tipe ///C:/xampp/htdocs/p.php when I want to see my page.It doesn't work with" localhost".😕

Have you configured Apache to recognise PHP?

Then where did the "curly" quotes come from?

"Every possible" ?? There is only one "possible" double quote: "

How was Apache configured to parse PHP files? In one of Apache's .conf files, there should be a few lines that point to PHP; see [man]install.windows.apache2[/man] (you'll most likely want to look at the "Installing as an Apache handler" section rather than the CGI binary section).

Well that just means you're navigating directly to the file on your hard drive, so of course you're just going to see the raw contents of the file. You have to actually request it through Apache if you expect Apache to pass the file on to the PHP interpreter and display the rendered contents.

What doesn't work? What URL did you try? What happened when you tried it?

And don't forget that Apache actually needs to be running before you try loading "http://localhost/p.php" in your browser. 😉

(I mention that only because sometimes it's the really simple things that bite us in the butt.)

I think that my Apach doesn't work.When I try to to start Apach he is always busy.Maybe is something with port 80,I read that skype can make some problems.I think that I have to change some line in httpd.conf file but I don't no which.I decided to start with xampp couse I thought that everything is automatic and that I don't have to make some changes.

I did it somehow,Thanks to everyone.
