Can someone please help install PHP?

It used to work for me, then I got a new computer and ever since it hasn't worked.

I've download and reinstalled XAMPP numerous times and it still doesn't work, I just see the code I've written on the webpage.

Can someone help?

Thanks,

I would use another version like LAMP or WAMP, something basic but reliable like that should have php working again.

Make sure you are either editing a .php (not .html) file, or you have edited your php config file to allow php on .html files.

Also try using complete <?php ?> tags, if you aren't already.

Do you get any error messages, or does php just not work?

1. As mentioned make sure you are using the correct syntax and file extension.
2. Check your XAMPP Control Panel and make sure you are running Apache as a service.
3. Check your Anti-Virus program, it might be blocking it. McAfee did that to me once.
4. Do you have Skype installed? There are currently some known issues with that, Google for it.

The reason skype messes with XAMPP is because Skype uses port 80 by default, same port as Apache, just go into Skype -> Settings and change the port.
