php scripts will not run

HI everyone,

This is my first post. Not sure if it is or will work. Here is my problem as
a newby. I installed apache 2.2  and php 5 on windows xp using the
installer. I configured php and apache config files with the online help.
When I try to open a php script nothing happens, but the apache server is
running fine.  I want to test run some php scripts. I can't figure what else
to do? Any ideas?
