How do I see php coded text in my browser? I'm trying to follow this tutorial (I have WAMP5 installed);
What do they mean 'place it on a PHP enabled server.."? I thought having WAMP5 running did that...
.......................................
PHP and HTML Code:
<html>
<head>
<title>My First PHP Page</title>
</head>
<body>
<?php
echo "Hello World!";
?>
</body>
</html>
Display:
Hello World!
If you save this file and place it on PHP enabled server and load it up in your web browser, then you should see "Hello World!" displayed. If not, please check that you followed our example correctly.

Gee. Sorry for wasting your precious time.
1) I have searched
2) I did not find
3) I asked the question.
I hope you are proud of your self-righteous condescension.

... and another thing, Mr. CyberSpatium, if you are referring to the '<?php' issue, you clearly didn't read the code in my post, did you?

No Mr. Wreckage, I was not talking about the asp short style tags issue. You asked "How do I see php coded text in my browser" and "what do they mean 'place it on a PHP enabled server"
The reason I told you to do a simple search is because you would have found the following answers to your questions (of which I have posted many many many times on this forum).
1.> make sure all your files are in your c:\wamp\www folder. all php, html, images, etc.
2.> make sure when you are accessing your webpage with your browser you use http://localhost. if you try to access the file in your browser as file:///C:/wamp/www/index.php your php code will not get parsed by apache, and will not display.

Yes, he was with his helpful second reply. I can understand that some of you 'experts' must get a tad frustrated with newbies, but of course you fall into the trap of assuming that *nobody* who asks questions takes the time, or is smart enough, to perform a search.
This is not always the case, however, and answering a question with a rude demand to "...do a simple search." comes across as being neither helpful, nor tolerant. A couple of extra words such as "may I suggest you search using these keywords.....", or "This message should answer your question..." would certainly do a lot to engender confidence and friendliness in this forum.
Cheers.
...and by the way, there is a problem with your forum - my name on the orignal post now reads 'Goe' instead of 'wreckage'.
Cheers.

I am having the same issue. I downloaded and installed WAMP5 over the weekend and am still checking it out (WinXP home). I looked at all the config files but didn't find anything out of the ordinary. I have not modified any of the config files.
The issue is that a "test.html" file with embedded php (using the <?php ... ?> tags) does not execute the php code. Files like "test.php" work as expected, so I know the PHP engine is running an linked to Apache. My test code looks just like Steve's code above.
Any suggestions?

I found the answer to my problem in another forum. Edit "httpd.conf" and search for "addtype". Look for the following line (line 756 in my config file):
AddType application/x-httpd-php .php
Change it to
AddType application/x-httpd-php .php .htm .html
and save the file. Restart Apache service and all should be well.
Good luck.
AddType application/x-httpd-php .php
Change it to
AddType application/x-httpd-php .php .htm .html
and save the file. Restart Apache service and all should be well.

Wamp only enable a .php extension to load, so check what extension you saved your file or go into your httpd.conf file and add those ur file extension to it. Restart apache and you should be fine

Come on, guys. Don't be so hard on CyberSpatium, he have to go through all the post to answer all questions. Put yourself in his position, what you should do, of course, the answer is as short as possible, right?
Smile and get a smile back.
