PHP stopped working on localhost. All my index.php items come back showing the source code. It was working fine until sometime this weekend.

What did you install between it working and it not working?

I didn't install anything (that I know of). Up until Friday i was doing PHP fine. Then I spent the weekend playing around with jquery/jquery-ui stuff. (I did download those packages.) Then on Sunday I went back to my PHP/mysql website and it just gave me source code dumps.

What do you mean by packages?
JQuery comes as a javascript that you place in a website NORMALLY. Whats this package?

Sorry, I just meant I downloaded the zip files. Also, after I tried a bunch of other things to fix the problem, I uninstalled and then reinstalled the WAMP, but even a simple PHP program still doesn't work.

Here is a simple program:
<html>
<head>
<title>PHP Test</title>
</head>
<body>
<?php
$var1 = "Hi";
echo $var1;
echo '<p>Hello World</p>';
$var1 = "Hi";
echo $var1;
?>
</body>
</html>
Here are the results:
Hello World
'; $var1 = "Hi"; echo $var1; ?>
Normally, if the program is more complex PHP, it just dumps the source code, but for this it seems to do something? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Try changing your piece of PHP for this
Looks to me like one of your double quotes is in fact 2 single quotes.
$var1 = 'Hi'; echo $var1; echo '<p>Hello World</p>'; $var1 = 'Hi'; echo $var1;

Yea right!
HINT: Never use double quotes unless you are actually going to make use of the special uses of double quotes
i.e.
$locn = 'World';
echo "Hello $locn";
