How do I tell if my PHP is working?

Anon

My last question (for now):

I'm on win98 and I've got apache running okay. I was just wondering if there was a simple way to see if my php was working without getting into actual database programming.

Thanks a bunch

Easy...

Write this script:

<?php
phpinfo();
?>

Save it in your web document directory using an extension that you told Apache to look for with PHP (.php, .phtml, whatever), and if you get a nice report on your screen, you have a working installation.

If you get an error message, or if your script is just repeated back to you as plain text, you've got a problem with the install or you need to let Apache know in its configuration files that the file extension you used is a PHP script.

make test.php andput
<?
phpinfo();
?>
and it should print out your php info..

Sorry if these questions sound dumb, but I'm new to this stuff and am lacking any other resources.

It repeats the script back to me. How do I tell Apache that .php is a php script?

Thanks

Anon
