Steps:
1. Install PHP. Already installed?
2. make a file accessible via browser and call it test.php
3. put this into it:
<?
echo "Hello World<br>";
phpinfo();
?>
4. Now, access that file.
If you see "Hello World" outputted followed by a long blue-gray table
with lots of server data - means everything worked and you could go to
the sites like PHP Beginner (www.phpbeginner.com) or many others to read
some tutorials and still code to keep testing.
If you get asked to download a .php file then make sure you installed
your PHP with Apache right (requires some editing of httpd.conf, read
the manual)
