wamp problem

I wanted to start using php for developing websites...but I'm having
problems at the beginng (some say the beginnings are the hardest :)). My
friend recommended WAMP as all-in one solution...so I installed it and
checked all of the conf files just to see if all of the folders have been
setup correctly...and they were. Then I tested php and apache by writing phpinfo(); ?> in a text editor, saving it with .php extension in www folder
(root folder in wamp) and tried to open it in browser....blank page showed
up...Tried to disable my firewall (found the suggestion on some website) but
that didn't work either.

When I click on phpinfo link in phpMyAdmin, it returns all of the
information that it should...

I have no more ideas, so please help if you see something that I've done
wrong or something I didn't do or if you have any ideas why this might be

Thanks.

May it helps if you use instead of just short tags.

What about simple Text like "Hello World". Just this two words. No tags,
nothing? I guess your file is in the wrong directory and you're not opening the
file you're editing.

Re: wamp problem

Hi Dejan
I have also recently gotten into wamp and had similar issues not being
able to have php work. I simply followed the instructions in the
following link and it worked:
http://www.devside.net/web/server/windows/php5

Apparently the manual that comes with php is mostly intended for linux
installs and doesn't cover xp rigorously enough to avoid pitfalls for
beginners like us :-)

Sincerely Kasper

Re: wamp problem

I didn't go thrue all of those steps, I just used some of them to change my
wamp installation, naturally with wamp named directories and it worked like
a charm :)

Kasper I can't thank you enough, and afcourse thank you all guys for your
suggestions
