WampServer

after I have installed the wampserver. when i just doing a simpe display on the image,
everything is not working,
eg :
<?php
echo "<p>Hello World, How Are You Today?</p>";
?>

nothing display...

<?php
$a="hello";
$b="world";
echo "a","b";
print "a","b";
?>

nothing display....

but when i connect to mysql database, no problem...
<?php
$dbhost = 'localhost';
$dbuser = 'root';
$dbpass = '';

$conn = mysql_connect($dbhost, $dbuser, $dbpass) or die ('Error connecting to mysql');

$dbname = 'gohhs';
mysql_select_db($dbname);
$sql = "SELECT * FROM product";
$sql_result = mysql_query($sql,$conn) or die(mysql_error());
while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($sql_result)) {
print_r($row) . ", ";
}
?>

browser display 1 row inserted.

so, i wonder what is the problem, please help me,... did php5 installed correctly ?

Where did you save the file and how did you run it? I hope you should save your_file.php in C:/wamp/www/your_folder and access it like this

[localhost]

If you access it through localhost, it should be fine and you only see blank page when using short tag <? instead <?php
So do you sure to use full tag in info.php?

Every time you have new project, you're better have it in new folder, so they don't conflict each other, and when you access [localhost] it will show all your projects there.

Yes, double check, info.php,
it was <?php instead of <?
any duggestion or solution for me to counter thix problem ?

many appreciate for your response

Before install this wamp package, did you ever have any other wamp package? If yes, search and delete all old mysql.ini and php.ini in /windows and in registry.

This is the first and ever wamp package that i have installed, I never try the old one, is there any way for me to troubleshoot what is going wrong ?

I meant that have you ever have apache, mysql, and/or php in your box before? If yes, backup your data, uninstall wampserver, clean all related files includinng registry, then reinstall wampserver, suggest to use v1.6.5 because it's more steady, at least to me.
