    PHP server may not be running.

    How are you accessing that file?

    Assuming that htdocs is the root dir, then http://localhost/ would be the method to access.

    Did you have any Firewall issues during install?

    Look...

    If you can't answer the question/s I've asked, then there's nothing I can do to help. Try xampp, it's an easier product to work with.

    Sorry
    I have no probs with firewall

    PHP server how do you enable? can it be done from the tool bar icon?

    I accesed the file by going to apache folder then pasting script files into Htdocs

    Thanks again:eek:

    No he means how did you try to run the script? If you just double click the script file, it wont run. To run it you have to paste it in the htdocs folder. Then visit the page:

    http://localhost/name_of_your_script.php

    in your browser (FireFox or IE or whatever you use).
