How do I know PHP runs?

[Deon H]

Hi there,

I have downloaded the whole php zip file and extracted it at c:\php

I know I have to do some alterations, with the most impoartant being to
add php to the windows path. The install.txt file that comes with php,
says I must make PHP part of the path.

I could not find this in the text file. (So I need your help on this,
please.)

I think php isn't running on my PC because I get this error when trying
to browse a *.php file:

The Page cannot be found

HTTP 400 - Bad Request
Internet Information Services
Thanx again for your prompt help and patience.

Regards,

Deon

It must be defined in the Windows path which is part of the environment
variables.

Are you trying to run your PHP scripts in CLI mode or web server mode?

Tony,
you ask if I want to run PHP scripts in CLI mode or web server mode.

I really do not have any idea. All I want to do is to test my mySQL db
on PHP I cannot do cgi scripting or any of those stuff.

Any suggestions?

Thanx CJ,
I did as this page says, and still get the same error message.

Any idea what I might be doing wrong?

Do any web pages work when you browse to them?
For example, does browsing to the URL http://localhost/default.htm
work?

What is the path (what directory) where the website files and folders
reside? Is this path properly set up in IIS?

It just sounds like you have a misconfigured web server but you are not
giving nearly enough information for anyone to really be able to help you.

later...
