Installing PhP5 (Win). Browser shows code. Help?

[Erick Howenstine]

I'm installing PhP5 on WinXP, with Apache2.
In my Apache's httpd.conf file I have added
LoadModule php5_module c:/php-5/php5apache2.dll
and moved the .ini file to C:/Windows/php.ini
Apache works with the php module loaded.
When I look at this code with my IE browser:

<? phpinfo(); ?>

or

<?php
phpinfo();
?>

....all I get in the browser is the code itself.
Q: why is it not working? How can I diagnose my problem?
I've spent hours with manuals, etc. Help greatly appreciated.

You forgotten add the following line in your httpd.conf file:

AddType application/x-httpd-php .php

in Apache httpd.conf file write something like this:
############### ############### ############### #######
AddType application/x-httpd-php .php4 .php .htm .php3 .inc .html
AddType application/x-httpd-php-source .phps
Scriptalias /php/ "c:/path_to_php/"
Action application/x-httpd-php "/php/php-cgi.exe"
############### ############### ############### #######

The OP uses PHP as a module, so skip these lines.
