Re: Test.php loads, but nothing in Browser

Thanks Massimo Your suggestion helped. It was the Short Tag setting was turned off. The only changed I made was to turn it on, and restart Apache. Voila and there is the PHP info page. I can't remember seeing the any info in the directions about setting this tag. It seems to be omitted since it is optional, but my guess is that most people write their scripts using short tags. So the default setting should be set to short. Any reason to keep it set to off?? Security Reason??

You used the "short open tags" syntax, often disabled in your php.ini configuration; <?php script_goes_here ?> is the most correct, *common* and portable syntax. Best regards -- Massimo Lombardo
