@aj_nscMar 11.2012 — A first thought, you can't just open the .php file in your browser, you need to access it through the server. Go to your doc root of the xampp installation and create a file phpinfo.php with the following:

<i>
</i>&lt;?php phpinfo(); ?&gt;


Then open your browser and go to http://localhost/phpinfo.php

Do you see a large output of information regarding PHP?

@theiwazMar 12.2012 — What spufi said. Just make sure you've fired up xampp right. Open xampp and check if apache and mysql are up and running. After that open up a browser and go to Http://localhost/. Then you should see the xampp welcome screen.
