Now you ready for the test.,open a new file with notepad and type:<?php phpinfo(); ?> Save it in your website root directory that should be C:\Inetpub\wwwroot as phpTest.php not as text file but all files or it wont work.if you find problems saving in the website root folder,check the security permissionsOpen your web browser and type in the address bar http:/localhost/phptest.php and ,if a page with all the php info appears ,it means that you have php succesfully installed and running.
