Re: New Windows user having trouble with Apache and PHP

Do a search for you phpinfo.php on the 'C:' drive. Make sure that its in your 'www' folder or in your apach/htdocs folder. Once you've determined this, go to www.php.net and review the section on 'installing php on windows'. If all else fails, go to www.wamp.com and instal the bundle. --- Sunburned Surveyor <sunburned.surveyor@gmail.com> wrote: > Windows/PHP Users, > > I'm new to PHP and I had a question about getting > PHP and Apache set > up on Windows.
