Hello I have installed Xammp on my laptop running windows vistaI also have been using skype and did stop the use of port 80 as it blocked appache running. It all seems to be working now, accept for when im running my php code, it shows the page with the source code, what is missing/wrong? Thank you

If it is showing the php code it means it is not executing php. It could be for several reason.If you have not php installedif you have not apache module of php not configured to execute php fileYou are not using localhost when calling the page. if you open the page using local file without using localhost it wont execute As for XAMPP installation you should not have face first two reason as they take care of the configs for convenience and it should work almost instantly.
