phpinfo not displaying

[suejoh]

I have just loaded apache and php on my new laptop.

Apache is working and if I can run a Hello World php file but if I run phpinfo I just get a blank html page.

Any ideas on what could be wrong?

Thanks Sue

Did you print the return value of phpinfo?

echo phpinfo();

Did you print the return value of phpinfo?

echo phpinfo(); 

You don't need to print it. The function outputs text by itself. Unless you mean to echo out the return value of true/false if it was successful or not? But then again if it is not outputting the info then I don't think finding out it returns false will be very helpful

Thanks for replying.

This is a new laptop and the phpinfo prog works on the other PC.
I am trying to set up everything with the latest versions of Apache, PHP etc and I think it is the setup or the config changes - something.

Need to find what to download from PHP - not that obvious - for Windows 7 64 bit. Just for development.
Using Apache 2.2 and MySql

Do I really have to build it myself??

If you've never installed Apache & PHP before it's far easier to use something like WAMP, XAMPP, etc.
