xp pro and php

[aarrgghh]

Hey all,

I am trying to run php on my xp pro machine and I installed it with no errors on IIS 5.1. However, I get &quot;No input file specified&quot; when I try to run a simple phpinfo(); or even <?php echo &quot;helloworld&quot;; ?> does anyone have any ideas about why this might happen? Many thanks in advance.

What version of PHP?

How did you install it? Want the best answers? Ask the best questions:

What version of PHP did you install? There's actually a bug in versions prior to 4.0.3p1 that might be the cause of this problem (which you can read about at the link below), though I'm presuming from the dates on these posts that you're installing the latest version, 4.3.0.

There's also a small snippet at the link below that suggests it may be the configuration of your web server that's at fault, not your installation or configuration of PHP. Check this possibility out.

And then the below link suggests a possible fix for the problem on a Win2K machine, which would probably be applicable to your situation as 2K and XP have the same kernel and other similarities in design.

Most sites I've looked at suggest that if you are trying to run a file that's outside the root folder (in the case of IIS,

http://wwwroot),

then you might run into problems. I'm not really sure without knowing more about your situation.

That's my two cents...
