thanks for the response, i made sure that it is running and according to wamp, apache is up and going. "WAMP 5 - All services runnning - server online"

is there anything special i need to configure?

so i tried loading an html file out of my www root folder, and it worked. apparently its just php files that the browser attempts to download instead of view. my php code wouldn't work when embedded into an html file either.

i was wondering, because i was previously trying to get apache, php and mysql to work separately before i discovered wamp, i have all kinds of random dll, cfg, and ini files all over my system.

is there any other reason that my php service is up and running but not parsing?

make sure you access the files by typing [localhost], do not try to use the your browser open command do open the file. the file contacts php code and needs to be parsed by apache for the php code to work. if you open the file directly using the open command it just opens the file directly, and does not process the php code.
