exit();
?>

for php to work, you need to setup a web server (apache)
google that

Download xampp portable instead. Much easier. I prefer the lite package. Apache, MySQL, PHP, Perl. PphpMyAdmin.

yeap... as dkk suggested... xampp is a good package bundle for php....
other alternative is wampserver

i've finally set-up php in my windows but an error occurred....anyone know what is the problem ? pls help thanks

here's the error

Unable to load dynamic library 'C:\Program Files\PHP\ext\php_oci8.dll'

i dont know how to resolve the error.. but why dont u try Xampp like the others recommended.. its an all in one MySQL, PHP and Perl. but makesure u uninstall skype(if u r using that is) because apache uses the same port skype is using that is port 80(if im not mistaken...) correct me if im wrong..

neways guys.. do help me out.. ive succesfully installed xampp.. the problem is my browser(firefox) do not seem to have activate the php function.. but when i check wp_admin status it says that it is activated.. any ideas how to resolve? thanks in advance..

What is the url in the address bar of the webbrowser?

If it says something like file:///c:/temp/test.html
this means your browser is loading directly.

If it says something like http://localhost/test.html
this means your browser is loading it from your local webserver.

The php pre-processor runs on the webserver. If you load the file directly on the browser and bypass the webserver, php commands will not be executed.

You can also check this by select view-source from the webbrowser. You should not see php code in there.

The extension php_oci8.dll requires Oracle 8 to be installed first. Thats why you're getting the unable to load bla bla...
Don't install this extension. That should solve your prob.

im suggesting u use EasyPHP..
setting up manually can give so much trouble

open your php.ini.

Find this line:
[PHP_OCI8]
extension=php_oci8.dll

Change it to:
[PHP_OCI8]
#extension=php_oci8.dll

You should just include those dll that you are using.
Hope this help, thanks.

That isn't enabled by default in the manual set up.

new post pls help ppl thanks

this is the correct url
http://localhost/project/contact.php

Try localhost in browser already? Can u get the orange thing?
Did u start the xampp?
Are using linux or windows , u use xampp lite or binary?
After u press xampp in program place(tooo long didnt use windows d .. .. .. i mean the place where all the programs show) anything showed?
