Installation problems with PHP4 + Apache on Win 98

Hello! I encountered these problems when I installed PHP4 with Apache on Win 98. I would very much appreciate your help: When I go to http://localhost/phpinfo.php, it just shows: <? phpinfo() ?> instead of the PHP Version 4.0 graphic. When I try sample codes, the variables can't be turned into values(e.g. echo "<p>The price is $price.</p>";). I carefully followed the article "Setup and Install apache + PHP4 on Windows" by Julie Meloni and tried several times but couldn't solve the problems. That is, 1.I extracted all the unzipped files to C:\Php4 and renamed 'php.ini-dist'as 'php.ini' and moved it to c:\Windows 2.I Moved 'Msvcrt.dll' and 'php4ts.dll' to c:\Windows\System 3.I edited conf\httpd.conf in Apache folder: ServerAdmin june@seashore.com (I'm not sure about this: One can freely name a ServerAdmin e.g. dog@playground.com?) ServerName localhost 4.I added: AcriptAlias /php4/ "C:/php4/" AddType application... AddType application... Action application.. 5. I made and saved phpinfo.php in Apache\htdocs (should I save all my application files, like time.php, calc01.php in this directory?) 6. I opened http://localhost/phpinfo.php and it only shows: <? phpinfo() ?>. Addition info on my Apache installation<OS is Win 98>: in the TCP/IP Properties dialogue box(Control Panel\Network\DNS Configuration) I chosed enable DNS, filled in localhost (for Host), www.seashore.com (for Domain) Question: The Host name and the Domain name should be corresponding with ServerName and

         ServerAdmin in Apache\conf\httpd.conf?--I'm not sure.

When I type http://127.0.0.1 or http://localhost as the URL in Netscape, the following message(Test Page) shows up(But MSIE5 doesn't work, why???): If you can see this, it means that the installation of the Apache web server software on this system was successful. You may now add content to this directory and replace this page.

         Seeing this instead of the website you expected?
