WampServer

Been programming real time systems in Unix for ages but completely new to WEB applications. Can somebody please just help me up and running by answering a few basic questions? I just need to get the php equivalent of "Hello WOrld" up.

1) A www directory was created in c:\wamp so why does the www folder in the wamp5 window point to c:\wamp\Apache2? Is it supposed to be this way?

2)I created a test file called test.php containing <? phpinfo(); ?>. Where should I place the file? How do I run it? Will [localhost] run it?

3) I tried unsuccessfully to install Apache, Mysql and Php before on the system. Do I need to remove all references to apache from the registry? Any other recommended steps?


Thanks a lot ....

I resolved the first problem. There was an installation error. I did not choose the www directory as the default.

THe issue is still how to verify that php ids working via a simple test file.

well get the syntax right... <?php phpinfo(); ?> just <? dont work... and put the test.php in the www folder, goto [localhost]
