ok, i installed php, mysql, and apache. apache and mysql work fine, but when i went to test the php after i configured the apache, i get the created a phpinfo script to test and and

<? phpinfo(); ?> showed up instead of the information. I used

apache_2.0.54-win32-x86-no_ssl
mysql-4.0.25-win32
&
php-5.0.4-Win32

also i configured my apache server httpd.conf file like this
(excrept from the book)
3. Add the following code to the LoadModule section

LoadModule php5_module
C:/php// php5apache2.dll

Nex you have to add a directive to the httpd.conf file to define the extensions used by PHP files. Common extensions are .php and .phtml, but you can use whatever you want.

4. Look for the AddType section in the httpd.conf file

5. Add the following line:
AddType application/x-httpd-php .phtml .php

6. Save and close the httpd.conf file.

(Taken from "PHP 5 Fast & Easy Web Devolepment")

this really has me baffled. If anyone could help me, or preferably walk me through it with AIM or somthing, i would really appreciate it, and thank you for time.

BTW, sorry if its in the wrong section.

Something much easier to do, than installing all of those packages yourself, is to use something like EasyPHP or Wamp Server. There both free and come with PHP/MySQL/Apache. Wamp Server comes with PHP 5 and mysqli, but PHP 4 is available to download as an extension.

Php and the lot are pretty simple to install. All you really have to do is configure your httpd.conf. I remember this happened to me also when I first tried it out. My problem was that I was accessing the file by just opening it, not accessing it through my server.

is was "c:...." instead of the nessicary "http://localhost:80/"

Simple mistake.
