Well, the first one didn't work for obvious reasons that you probably figured out by now (no echo/print statement).
However, did you change anything in your Apache config and restart it? Get the echo-this-is-a-test line to work alone, but don't open a new browser window. Just hit Ctrl+Refresh to see if it fails without having to open a new browser window. This sort of sounds like a PHP module problem - perhaps it is crashing for some reason (pagefaults?). In either case, check your error logs (Apache ones, if you've set them up) and see if they reveal any information about the problem. - Jonathan -----Original Message----- From: John D.Wiles [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Saturday, March 30, 2002 8:17 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [PHP-INST] [Corrected syntax] PHP install on Apache win 2000 Pro My last meesage contains incorrect php syntax..sorry.
