I have put the first php script to hello.php file: <html> <head> <title>PHP Test</title> </head> <body> <?php echo '<p>Hello World</p>'; ?> </body> </html> I am on xpsp3, wampserver 2.0, having apache 2.2.8, php 5.2.6, MySQL 5.0.51b http://localhost/ is E:\wamp\www I put the hello.php file to E:\wamp\www. drag/dropping it to browser shows the above source code in ff3/ie6 putting it to E:\wamp\bin\apache\apache2.2.8\htdocs and drag/dropping it to browser shows the same source code. However, putting it to E:\wamp\www\php_ex but giving http://localhost/hello.php shows a blank screen I have forgotten some situation where it had appeared as Hello World '; ?> on the browser. E:\wamp\bin\apache\apache2.2.8\conf\httpd.conf file has the lines: LoadModule php5_module "e:/wamp/bin/php/php5.2.6/php5apache2_2.dll" AddType application/x-httpd-php .php AddType application/x-httpd-php .php3 On double clicking the php file in windows explorer, it opens in notepad for edit, instead of getting opened in firefox that is my default.
