I wanna mess with PHP. Where can I find the software that needs to be installed on my web server for PHP to work? Are there varying versions like Active State's Perl? If so which version is the most stable?

If you look at applications at www.zend.com they actually have a lot of cool installer apps to make it even easier.

Create a PHP page with the folowing content:

<? phpinfo(); ?>

If it works fine, then PHP is installed correctly...

yes, it should be a long page full of information. Did you just put

<? phpinfo(); ?>

in the middle of a page with no other html.

</HEAD>

<BODY BGCOLOR="#FFFFFF">
<? phpinfo(); ?>

</BODY>
</HTML>

It should work fine... What web server do you use and how you installed PHP?

I guess that you downloaded the smaller package that contains windows installer, right? I would suggest you to download larger package (more things are compiled in the binary) that come as zip file and follow insturctions from install.txt to install it...
