Hi well maybe this isnt the right place to put a beginners post but I will find out soon if its not I guess!
Anyway I am as newbie at PHP that one can get. I went to PHP.net for some resources on how to get started and I downloaded a bunch of zip files and basically followed their instructions but I am still way confused. Ok I downloaded the PHP installer, and installed it, and I already had IIS running under Win XP. So. I thought I had everything done, but then I noticed that the instructions were for people working under Visual C++. Now here are my questions: 1. Do I have to work in an environment or can I do it in notepad? Is it easier to work in MVC++? Any suggestions here? 2. I downloaded all these configuration files and I was told to put them in a folder called c:\work. Now, how do I get these files to run, and are they necessary only if working under MVC++? 3. I tried to run the following PHP script, saved it as hello.php in my inetpub\wwwroot directory (my clientside server directory): <html> <head> <title>PHP Test</title> </head> <body> <?php echo "<p>Hello World</p>"; ?> </body> </html> I got the following error? CGI Error The specified CGI application misbehaved by not returning a complete set of HTTP headers. The headers it did return are: Am I even close to being done with PHP installation or is there a bunch more configuration to be done? If anybody can give me some suggestions or resources I will be greatly thankful.
