No longer really relevant, but FWIW, my files are in a subfolder of
C:\WAMP\www, and like I said, it was in fact processing index.php, but not
all the code in main.php and they are in the same folder.

ok
this is a stupid question but yeah
your files are in the htdoc directory ?
and that has been set us as the place php will process files?

Installed the full WAMP server configuration after I was encountering

start
WAMP, and FWIW, I literally installed it on the second machine right now

try this out, but, like I said, it also seems to have a problem of sorts.
Strangest thing is that while the installed page for PHPInfo works, it
won't
even work in one of my own pages that has it in.
FWIW, I have WAMP server v.2.0 - AFAIK the latest version so I don't
think
the problem is actually therein.
