software: Windows XP Apache 2.2.4 PHP 5.2.3 My Level: Biginner - non technical (UK Based) I'm trting to setup on a standalone local PC so that I can learn about PHP/MySQL/Apache I have Apache up and running and I am trying to get PHP 5.2.3 working with it. When I try loading the test.php file all I get is the code <? phpinfo(); ?>. I'm not really sure where to start to narrow down the problem. Can onyone help please.

Since you have got the test.php showing something we can assume apache is running. The next step is to modify the httpd.conf file ( in the conf directory of apache ) to load the php module LoadModule php5_module d:/Network/php5_2_3/php5apache2_2.dll And in the mime_module section I have AddType application/x-httpd-php .php So that Apache uses the php5_module to run .php files. You need to restart Apache to load any changes to httpd.conf, but currently thouse are the only additions you should need to get phpinfo(); showing the php setup. ( I don't use MySQL, but you will need to load MySQL, and the php module that goes with that in php.ini - which should be in your windows directory ) -- Lester Caine - G8HFL ----------------------------- Contact - http://home.lsces.co.uk/lsces/wiki/?page=contact L.S.Caine Electronic Services - http://home.lsces.co.uk MEDW - http://home.lsces.co.uk/ModelEngineersDigitalWorkshop/ Firebird - http://www.firebirdsql.org/index.php
