Testing Your Installation

PHP should now be installed and working on your machine. Go ahead and test it out. Open up your favorite text editor and type the following:

<?php
phpinfo();
?>

Then save this file as test.php and move it to a place where you will be able to hit it. If you are on Windows you can put it in C:Inetpubwwwroot est.php; if you are in UNIX you can put it in /usr/web/test/php.

Open up a Web browser and type in http://localhost/test.php and you should see something similar to Figure 2.2.
