WampServer

Hello,

You already probably noticed (with my username) I'm still wearing baby diapers when it comes to PHP and web server hosting I recently installed Wamp server locally on my Windows XP laptop with the following:
- Apache 2.2.11
- MySQL 5.1.36
- PHP 5.3.0

Here's my problem: when I click on Localhost, the index.php page will run properly. However if I try loading any other .PHP file on the browser (Internet Explorer), the php code does not get processed (compiled), it only displays the code on the browser as a simple text page. I need the server to get my .PHP pages processed

Any ideas??

Thanks

has to go through localhost

I use
<?php

then u didnt name the file filename.php

it must be filename.php.txt


windows sometimes hides known filetypes. u can turn it off in control panel>folder options

The fiename was named .PHP and not .PHP.TXT. I checked in Folder options as you suggested, the option "Show hidden file and folders" is ticked.

Now even Localhost (ndex.php) does not get parsed when I load it

Any new ideas are welcome

not hidden option

Just below it

Hide file extensions for known file types

"Hide file extensions for known file types" is NOT ticked

I should add that SP3 and PHPDesigner 7 have been installed just recently on my laptop, this is when I started having this issue. I don't know if this could somehow be related?

However, the "Hide file extensions for known file types" option is NOT ticked

Any new ideas are welcome
