apache not showing me the phpinfo.php

I am trying to learn php and have run into a problem.

I have installed php and apache just like its says to. Then it says to
create a file called phpinfo.php that looks like this:
<?php
phpinfo();
?>

so i did and placed it in the htdoc directory in apache but all i get is a
blank page. no error message or anything just a blank page. can anyone
help or have anyidea's

thanks
Patrick

Hi Patrick,

I'm not sure but it sounds like PHP is not working (or not properly
installed).
Can you run any other php scripts?

Try:
<?php
echo "hello";
?>

If you still get nothing, I think php is the culprit.
Send me an email if you still can't get it to work. I'll send you some
tips.

Regards.
