[NTLUG:Discuss] Running php - learning help

[Dennis]

Starting a new learning curve - learning how to use use php.

Have a book, and the first example is comming up blank.  The error must 
be in the configuration of the system for apache or php.

My ultra simple book example:
<?php
phpinfo();
?>

I made changes to the httpd.conf file to include:
AddType application/x-httpd-php .php

To allow debuging (not on Internet accessable system), changed php.ini with:
display_errors = On

When I run firefox against the file (in a special directory - 
file:/programming/php/), I get a blank screen.

OK, I need a 2x4 to guide me in the right direction.  Please help.  
Appreciate.
