Hi,
> you are suggesting I change my open tag to shortcode?
No, I'm asking you to check your PHP scripts for "open tag shorts".
> IIS is not actuve. should it be?
NO.
Since you have access to the Wampserver homepage, i.e. localhost, this means that the PHP code is correctly interpreted; it also means that you have problems in your PHP scripts.
Write a simple PHP script like this
<?php
echo "Hello World";
?>
and save it in c:\wamp64\www\test\test.php
Then launch the Wampserver homepage and in the browser address bar, type :
'http://localhost/test/test.php'
