Doing something silly in installing PHP

[Fensic]

Hello everyone.

I am having a problem installing and configuring PHP 5.1.6. Initially I had it installed and working with Apache 2.2.3 and MySQL 5.0.24 but decided to abort and redo the installation when I had problems getting phpMyAdmin to work.

So far I seem to have gotten Apache up as I get the "It Works!" when I enter "http//localhost" into my browser.

I am trying to reinstall PHP now but when I enter "http://localhost/phpinfo.php" into my browser, I get my script back in response:

<? echo phpinfo() ?>

Does my problem ring a bell with anyone so that they can point me to an obvious error? I have gone through php.ini and http.conf until I am blue in the face and cannot find what I am doing wrong and I have been around computers long enough to suspect that it is something simple.

All your script should contain is
[PHP]<?php
phpinfo();
?>[/PHP]

Unfortunately Ronald that did not solve my problem as I still get the script as my results. I think I need to go back to the beginning on this and try again. I will report any progress I make. All suggestions are still welcome in the meantime.

Its not a problem with PHPINFO.php .
Its a problem with your "server" . Its unable to parse the PHP , rather its returning back the same text as contained.

You should uninstall the full thing and go for XAMPP.

Or do a google search and download EASYPHP , thats good too.

If you face any similar problem , you can let us know here.

you should check your apache configuration file as well so that it knows where php is. I think. I'm new to all this but have had this problem before. I think.

Oh well, bye.
