Hello. I installed PHP 5.? Whatever the latest version is on my Windows Vista Machine. I also used Winxamp lite or whatever it's called and it installed ok. The problem is that I tried to use a PHP file in the HTDocs folder and it try's to download instead of showing up in the browser under the local user or local IP. I know from past experience with Classic ASP this is usually because the PHP dll or whatever it is that interpruts the files isn't being used? I tried to install in several directories. I intalled Winxamp / Apache lite in c:\ instead of program files directory. So, can someone tell me what else to do? Oh, I can click on the http file and it gives the ole "it works" message so I know the web server is working. So why not PHP? I'm wanting to use Netbeans as the IDE which I have setup, but obviously that won't work until I get PHP to work for me. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I'm an ex Classic asp developer, so I think I can learn PHP pretty easy, once I get it working.
I also have MySQL 5.+ working as well..
Thanks
Tim

create a file phpinfo.php
and write following code.
now save it in htdocs directory.

now go to 'localhost/phpinfo.php'

if you see information regarding php in tabular structure then your php is working fine. if not then php is not configured properly. I hope you are not opening php file from file menu of browser. usually if you try to open using file->open only then it start to download file as you mentioned.

Hello.
Thank you for helping. I'm still stuck. I installed "Wamp Server" after un-installing everything, and I mean everything I could that I thought would maybe cause a problem. I then installed the "Wamp Server" which did install, but the browser still tries to open the file and then I get the "Save" dialog. I've been a classic ASP programmer for over 10 years, so I know it's because the PHP interpruter isn't finding the correct DLL or something I'm guessing? So, I'm uninstalling Wamp and going to re-install. I found a post on the web that said if you have Inetpub which I do have this will mess up apache or php, I don't remember. Either way, I have made sure I deleted this directory and made sure that I that IIS wasn't installed which it isn't. So, I'll try again and let you know what I get. I did add these lines to the php.config file to insure that the config file was correct: AddType Application/x-httpd-php .php
LoadModule php5_module “c:/php/sapi/php5apache2_2.dll” but no deals again. Maybe I didn't add them at the right place.

Does PHP run as an ISAPI or CGI or ? I apologize but I don't know much about it yet, but I'll learn in a couple days once I get it configured.

Thanks again, and I'll write back once I get Wamp Server to run again, and I'll run the little function you wrote me.
Thank you
Tim

I have been using both XAMPP and WAMP for 5-6 months and never faced a problem.before that i had IIS also on my system. so our case is very same but i never faced any problem.

just install any one of them and let me know if problem persists.i hope that it would go away.do not install PHP, MySQL and Apache separately at this stage as you may make mistake while configuring.

these package work straight out of box. you do not have to configure a single thing.just run installer and start developing.

and i also suggest that before you install these make sure you have uninstalled previous versions from your system.

Are you remembering to start the local server first? Pointing a browser directly at a php file without first starting the local server will always just open the file.

Yes, I started the Apache Server, PHP Engine, and mySQL server since it's a service, so all of the above were running. Now, I have WAMP and it serves the PHP pages no problem. The only thing I'm worried about is debugging. It's looking like I might have to do what I used to have to do with classic ASP which is use variables and write them out in certain parts of the PHP scripts to see the values. I hate that, but I don't see how else to do so? I have Netbeans, but someone else on this forum says Eclipse rocks, so I might have to try it..
Thanks so much. I really appreciate it. I just wish I could have gotten it to run without downloading WAMP. I mean I wish I could have setup PHP 5.? and then setup the full free version of mySQL and then setup Netbeans or some other IDE and debugged locally, uploaded using the IDE to make copy of the local files, etc, like I do with ASP.Net which has a killer Copy function for just uploading / ftp'ing to the hosting company. Then I only have to change the connection values, and I do that by code with checking the IP address of the requesting file which is compiled.. That said, I still need to get PHP to work and at least now I have it where I can play with it locally. I just need to decide which IDE to use and learn how to copy my Database which someone else on this forum explained using Dump to copy to the mySQL DB at my host. So, it's going to be fun from here on out. Thanks so much for the help. See other posts if you please..

PHP is designed to run from a web server, to give more power and more interactions for your web pages, that's why you need to use a local server on your PC.

I'd guess your ASP pages were using the built-in IIS of Windows - which is doing exactly the same job as the wamp you installed.

PS PHP doesn't really need an IDE, you can write the code in any text editor just as easily.

Some conservatives have Coach Factory Outlet pushed that critique further, saying that Mr. Obama’s policies are too costly, often assist the wrong people Louis Vuitton Belts and could have the paradoxical effect of driving up college costs. The dispute turns not just on different Coach Factory Outlet assessments of how policies play out, but on differing philosophical views about the role of government. During Gucci Belts his time in office, Mr. Obama has sharply increased aid to low- and middle-income students, notably through the Pell Grant Coach Factory Outlet program, which grew from $14.6 billion given to 6 million students in 2008, to nearly $40 billion for Coach Factory Outlet almost 10 million students this year. His administration also made it easier to request aid, shortening the Coach Factory Online complex federal application and allowing people to transfer their financial information electronically from the Internal Coach Outlet Online Revenue Service database. But while many education experts laud his efforts, analysts of varying political Coach Outlet Online stripes have also questioned how much impact some of the president’s policies will have, noting that the prices Coach Online Outlet charged by colleges, and student borrowing, continue to climb.But behind the headlines about soaring costs, the Coach Factory Outlet Online reality is more complex and wildly uneven, because a growing number of students receive Coach Outlet Online financial aid, and only relatively high-income families pay those fast-rising sticker prices. Adjusted for Coach Factory Online inflation, the College Board calculates, the average net price changed little over the last decade at private Coach Factory Outlet schools, and rose only modestly at public ones.Defending federal spending, Arne Duncan, the secretary of Hermes Belts education, said that for more than 30 years, college prices had risen even when federal aid had not, leading him to believe Coach Factory Online there was zero correlation.

Getting regularCoach Outlet power and water at my house in New Delhi is never a sure thing, even though Coach Purse Outlet OnlineI’m paying the same rent that I paid in Tokyo and almost the same electricity prices. Both Hong Kong and Tokyo are also crowded places,Coach Factory Outlet Online but both cities are incredibly well planned and efficiently run.

You feel like you’re watching the future unfold.
