PHP not working in XAMPP

I have a problem running PHP in XAMPP 1.7.7 for windows. I’ve installed XAMPP in a local server with IIS (changed the port to 81 in httpd.conf as well as other configuration) so far it works and I could connect to the xampp/index.php but coulnd’t run any .php files in my htdocs (shows blank except for the html part). It works in my local (also have an IIS installed) but couldn’t make it work in a server.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Answer

If I got your question correctly, I think I had the same problem accessing a php file in XAMPP. I have been online for several hours searching forums and Google for the answer, not until I found the simple solution.

I was accessing the PHP file as a file on c drive (eg. C:xamphtdocsdata.php or file:///c:/xamp/htdocs/data.php) instead of as a webpage (ie //localhost/data.php).

I hope this will be helpful to you as well.
