I have been using Wamp for a couple of years now and think that it is one of the best there is... With a couple of exceptions, however.
First, I have never had a program that I had to uninstall and reinstall as much as Wamp 2.0. It seems that whenever I defrag my drive or install a new program, Wamp Server 2.0 fails to restart and I need to uninstall and reinstall it. I'm not sure why this sho

If your html file doesn't have a php extension (i.e. filename.php, not filename.html) PHP will not execute. The extension tell the server to expect php coding.

I am using the following code to display the current date. It displays correctly in IE localhost mode, but displays the year 2111 when accessed via localhost in both Firefox and Chrome.
The code displays the correct 2011 year from the server for all 5 major browsers. (For whatever reason, I cannot get Opera or Safari to display anything via localhost.)
Anyone have any idea as to why this w

I did save it as a .php file. Actually, I tried both php and html extensions to no avail.
Is there some setting that I'm missing? I have also noticed that if I try something like the following:
<?php
print "This is line1/n";
print "This is line2/n";
?>
When I run the script, the output shows as follows:
This is line1Thisis line2
i.e. The /n new line

I am very much a novice when it comes to both WampServer2 and PHP programming so it's not too surprising that I keep coming up with problems. I appreciate your help, however.
My latest problem is that whenever I use the 'localhost' to check out my web pages I can get either PHP or XHTML to function but not both.
If I try using a page containing only PHP code everything works fine. If I use

I'm running XP Pro.
The Wamp icon in the task bar is basically white with a black center.
I've never run a server on this machine, an HP Pavilion notebook.
When I type "localhost" in my browser, it brings up the Wamp homepage.
When I type "localhost/fbc/solutiona.php" (A short PHP test script) it performs as expected.
Why does it appear to be working all of a su

I clicked on your link and got the following error message: Firefox can't establish a connection to the server at localhost.
I apparently had some problem with the installation but no error messages popped up so I'm not sure what happened. Actually, this is the second time I've installed Wampserver. The first time around I got the same results so I uninstalled it and did it again.
I have

On the server, I've been putting the scripts in the root and accessing them by going to something like "; This seems to work just fine.
Locally, I am going to "c:\wamp\www\fbc\testfile.php" which does not work at all.
The original index.php file resides in the c:\wamp\www folder but I have no idea if it is running or not. I have never started it, I'm sure. How would I know i

I changed php.ini to enable the short tags but it doesn't seem to matter. PHP scripts that work fine on the server simply will not do anything on my local machine, with the exception of phpinfo().
To test phpinfo, I have started and stopped the services. When started, it works; when stopped it doesn't. None of my hand crafted PHP scripts will work locally, even those I have tested on the serve

I am a complete novice when it comes to WampServer, as will become apparent shortly.
I installed WAMP in order to develop and test some small PHP programs (scripts?) locally (i.e. Without having to FTP them to my server in order to test them) and I can't seem to get the configuration quite right.
I did a straight installation in accordance with the instructions and have the C:\wamp\www dire
