Do any of your php pages show as "proper webpages" in FF? It's just possibel that the Apache webserver, although installed, is not on. I am not familiar with WAMP (I use XAMPP), but I assume it has a control panel - check to see if Apache is on.

In addition, perhaps it would be useful to check your hosts and vhosts files - usually something like this):

C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts
C:\xampp\apache\conf\extra\httpd-vhosts.conf (yours will probably be under some sort of wamp directory).

The hosts file (note no file extension) should contain something like:

The other file should contain something like:

These files are where you'd add your virtual local sites


//EDIT

Just looked over the first couple of posts again:



If the above won't work, it's not because you can't find the localhost through the header command, it's probably because php won't run at all in this location (localhost).

Can you run a simple


page?

make a file called phpinfo.php with the folowing code:


Now if PHP is installed & working correctly, you should see a load of data & variables in a table with a purple background. If not, something is wrong with your PHP/Apache install.

Joshhh

Try this

it can be possible that short tags are off in php.ini. So Try once the above code.!!

Lets Try This ...
1. "L" MUST BE CAPITAL
2. Provide a space as i mentioned below ,this will be useful for IE

@ardav : i have installed xampp now, thought that something's wrong with wamp. but everything is still the same. i have checked those files, the one in win32 is okay, but i can't find "NameVirtualHost 127.0.0.1" in httpd-vhosts.conf. what should i do? anyway, i installed xampp in c/program files/xampp not in c/xampp, is it okay? and i can run simple php file like that hello world.

@rokape : yes, it works. seems nothing's wrong with my php installed here. thanks for your response.

@sam023, manus : they all don't work, still leads to a blank page

@foxwizzy : you mean i must write it like this?

but i only get this in my page
"; ?>

@foxwizzy : oh sorry, i wrote it in wrong way. yeah it works. but i have to add some php code in this file. can i do this, create this file as html file, and add <?php code blablabla ?> inside it?

You only get that because you used a " inside your echo string not ' or an escaped /".

This concludes that your install isnt working because otherwise this would error, unexpected t var etc.

I shouldn't have thought it would make much difference, but have you included an

on the next line after the header() statement?

In addition, make sure there is no html output including any white space before the header().

you mean this?

i have tried that and nothing happens again
