RE: [PHP] Newbie

Did you try to browse to it on your machine such as: http://localhost/phpinfo.php This is what they're referring to. PHP doesn't interpret pages when you just double-click on them since they're not being run through the web server (Apache) which will trigger PHP to parse the file. -M -----Original Message----- From: John Hicks [mailto:jhicks03@worldnet.att.net] Sent: Sunday, October 05, 2003 1:29 PM To: php-general@lists.php.net Subject: [PHP] Newbie Hi list, I have just installed PHP4.3.3-Win32. I have a book that said create a phpinfo.php ( <? phpinfo(); ?> ) file and place it in my Apache 2 htdocs file. I did this and when I run it opens in a blank page of DreamweaverMX. I tried to "open with" Internet Explorer and it does nothing. My question is what file would tell it to open in DWMX or how do I get to the opening set-up page of PHP. I used php4.3.3-installer.exe but I got the message that it would have to be installed manually. Any help or direction would be appreciated.
