Hi: Have installed Apache2 up and running.
Have installed PHP5 and created txt file call phpinfo.txt
Placed php.ini into Windows\
Placed php5ts.dll into Windows\system
browsed
<html>
<body>
"PHP INFO";
</body>
</html>
and gives me PHP INFO. . .works.

but I try to put in PHPinfo() function.

<html>
<body><?php
phpinfo();
?></body>
</html>

. . gives me a blank.
Any Ideas/feedback why this is doing this
would be appreciated.
Thank You
M

How are you calling the file?

filename.[red]html[/red] or filename.[red]php[/red]

Also how are you accessing the file?

never mind, i saw your file name, php files need to have a PHP extension. so phpinfo.txt will not get sent to the PHP parser.

unless you instruct apache to pass other file extensions to the php handler.

When in doubt check the apache error log. I can't tell you were that is at on Windows but on Unix it is typically /var/apache2/logs/error_log. So I would imagine wherever your htdocs folder is it there is also a folder in there called logs.

I will also have to agree with everyone else that you want to ensure your using .php file extentions. Furthermore ensure you have the AppType line in you httpd.conf file telling it how to handle the .php extention. It should be something like this:

AddType application/x-httpd-php .php .html .htm
