i saved a file on a note pad...

<html>
<head>
<title>PHP Test</title>
</head>
<body>
<?php echo '<p>Hello World</p>'; ?>
</body>
</html>

and then tried opening the file and "Print master" came up, its something my mom installed for like addresses and stuff.. i dont know why it came up though, i saved the file with a .php extension under all files, then opended it in my browser with all files selected, why did print master come up?

no idea but first do you have a web server running on the computer you are trying to run the file on?

yeah the problem must be you dont have a web server running on your computer. thats all i can think of.

if you need a webserver for windows use this it comes with apache for windows and php and mysql all in one easy to install .exe

Well, if u have Windows 2000 or XP try configuring IIS. You might have IIS installed by default.
You can start the server by the following steps

Right Click on My Computer, you wud see a menu....
Left click on Manage -> Services And Applications -> Internet Information Services

Then Left Click on Default Web Site and u wud see a button similar to "play" on winamp. Click on that ...That will start the server.

Then put the following address in your browser. http://127.0.0.1/<filename.php>

It shud run....

In case you are practising PHP for learning purpose and not able to configure IIS then you can do the following in Windows 2K or XP.

You have to go to the cmd prompt.

Type "php filename.php > filenameforview.html"

at the command prompt. Be sure to add them to the existing path in your Environment variables.

Please, for the love of God, don't use IIS.

java_roshan · May 4th, 2005, 10:38 AM

But what is the "print master" all abt in this ????

java_roshan · May 4th, 2005, 10:38 AM

Why not use IIS??

Difficult to configure or bugs??

Ooble · May 4th, 2005, 10:52 AM

1. It's buggy.
2. It's slightly slower than Apache.
3. I just don't like it.
