title: Xampp version 1.7.7 php code doesn 't work
body: <p>I have installed Xampp version 1.7.7 for windows and i want to start learning php. The problem here is I can 't run php code.</p>
  
  <p>I tried this very simple example</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;html&gt;
  &lt;head&gt;
  &lt;title&gt;Hello world!&lt;/title&gt;
  &lt;/head&gt;
  &lt;body&gt;
      &lt;?php echo "Hello world!"; ?&gt;
  &lt;/body&gt;
  &lt;/html&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Ofcorse I don t double click the php file and I don t just execute it in Firefox.
  I go to </p>
  
  <pre><code> http://localhost/xampp/htdocs/helloworld.php
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>which is the correst direction, I have checked it several times.
  I tried for index.php too but it doesn 't work too. I get this error.</p>
  
  <pre><code>Object not found!

  <p>I have installed Xampp with default options and when i click on admin (xampp xontrol panel) I get the classic orange page. When I go on status menu it shows that everything is activated except SMTP service and Tomcat service. I have tried to uninstall and reinstall xampp and nothing changed. </p>
  
  <p>I have also searched on the web but nothing seems to help. 
  Thank you</p>
