Hello everyone, i tried to test my PHP installation, and it did NOT work

i tried this

<p>This page was created at <b>
<?php echo date("h:i:s a", time()); ?>
</b> on the computer running PHP.</p>

and my computer only said:

You may try a PHP installation guide (http://a51.phpweekly.net).

they said xampp had the stuff in one..

i did not want to cross post so i will simply bump :(

i have used xammp on several servers now and not had any issues with getting it running, just run the install file and all was done... php/mysql/html etc etc
