I have made a page in Frontpage 2003, very basic just to test a page

<html>
<head>
<title>My First PHP Script</title>
</head>
<body>
<h4>Example One</h4>
<p><?php echo "Hello World"; ?></p>
</body>
</html>

However if I open windows explorer 6, select open, point to the page, it refuses to open?

I am using the wampserver package. Also tried publishing page in Frontpage, but no change. Also if I select view in browser when in Frontpage the page is blank. All services are running, phpMyAdmin opens etc. Any ideas, thanks

Any error message?

To access PHP pages you need to request them through the webserver. So you should be accessing it somewhat like:

http://localhost/folder/phppage.php

So it gets parsed by the server.

Many thanks. The directory it's in is C:\Wamps\www

If I open Localhost with the wamserver, it opens up a page Server Configuration

Does that make any sense, thanks

its probably then going toe be something like

http://localhost/page.php
