Hi, I am new to PHP. I also have Dreamweaver installed on my Windows PC. I'd like to start writing some simple PHP files. I just installed IIS which is part of Windows XP. I verified that it works fine. Now when I installed PHP from the www.php.net site, it asks me what server I am using. There are 4 versions of IIS as choices. Which one do I choose ?

which version of IIS are you running? You can find this out by going to start->run->type "inetmgr"...this will open you IIS manager. the right side of the panel will tell you which version of IIS you're running.

Why is it that when I create a simple php file and place it in c:/inetpub/www, when I double-click on the file it opens Dreamweaver. How to I make it go to my IIS server and PHP application and not to Dreamweaver ? My .php file contains: <pre>&lt;p&gt;This page was created at &lt;b&gt; &lt;?php echo date(&quot;h:i:s a&quot;, time()); ?&gt; &lt;/b&gt; on the computer running PHP.&lt;/p&gt; </pre>

It doesn't sound like you have IIS set to parse your php files. I'd read through the documentation from php.net first...if you're still having issues shoot me an email.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Steve
