Problem during installation-blank screen!

["David Du" <david.du@xxxxxxxx>]

 

Hi,

 

I am new to PHP, I have been trying to install PHP for my Apache web sever on my laptop PC, I use a Windows XP Professional operating systerm. I have downloaded those two files: apache_2.2.6-win32-x86-no_ssl.msi and php-5.2.5-win32-installer.msi.

 

I was able to install Apache 2.2 module, and was able to install PHP 5.2.5, but when I test the installation, I created a test.php file with simple code <? phpinfo(); ?> in it. When I try to access http://localhost/test.php, I got a blank page. When is this?

 

I went to PHP website's FAQ section, there was an faq about this error, but it is telling me to "double check the installation configuration in the manual", I can't find any instructions for installation configuration.

 

Can anyone help?

 

Thanks
