Main Topics
Browse All Topicsafter a very frustrating morning trying to get a simple submit form to post to a formmail.php, i noticed that php wasn't even installed. So i go to php site and download latest version of PHP using the .msi installer package. (php 5.3) run through the wizard and seemed simple enough, but i go into Application extensions and .php isn't listed, so i add and use the php5ts.dll that is in the php install folder and set verb to all etc. so i open up notepad and create a test php doc
<html>
<head>
<title> PHP Test Script </title>
</head>
<body>
<?php
phpinfo( );
?>
</body>
</html>
install at root and enter www.mysite.com/test.php
and it asks me if i want to open or save the file.. Anyone install php that maybe can help me through this.
