Hello :)

I Am Starting To Learn PHP And I Want To Install PHP, MySql And Apache On My Spare Computer So It Is Basically My Own Web Server But I Have Been Following the tutorial At PHP 5.2.x Installation Tutorial - Testing your Installation. And When I type In Http://localhost/ that Works So I Have The Apache Running Properly But Now I Need To Get The Php Working Properly I Have Followed The Instructions On Setting Up Php On the Tutorial But When I Make My php Info file and copy it to the htdocs root and type in Http://localhost/phpinfo.php It Doesn't Display The Php Info, It Prompts Me To Download The PHP Script ..... So If Anyone Could Please Guide Me Through How To Set Up The Php Properly Or Tell Me Of A good tutorial I Would Really Appreciate It. Oh and i am using PHP 5.2, Apache 2.2 And Mysql 5.1 And All On WinXP Pro.

Any Help Would Be Dearly Appreciated.
Thanks. Jack :):lol:

Are you using Internet Explorer? If so try using Firefox instead. Not sure why but IE gives me a download prompt too, whereas firefox open it as normal.

Ok I've Tried Firefox And It Is Just Displaying The Code And Not Actually Processing the Php So Instead of showing the php info it is showing

<?php phpinfo(); ?>

so I don't Think I Have Set Up The PHP.ini Properly Of the Httpd.conf file Would u be able to help with that???? :) :)

That's outside of my knowledge I'm afraid.

You'll just have to hope someone comes along who has installed php before lol.
