On a WinXP machine I've installed MySQL 4.1 successfully and I followed the manual steps for installing PHP 4.3.9. When I "open with" IE a test.php file nothing happens - no IE window, no extra process, nada. Same thing if I start an IE window and then use its address to attempt to open the file - nada is shown, just the same directory contents. Here's the file contents: <?php phpinfo(); ?> Is this a PHP or an IIS 5.0 problem? I've never tested whether my IIS is running properly.
A few questions:
Did you view the source for the test.php page? What did it have? Can you run PHP from the command line? -> c:\path\to\your\php\php.exe -h
Depending on these answers, it might be a IIS configuration problem.
