Php works very slowly

[Bedeveloper]

Hey!
I wrote this simple code in notepad and saved it as php file.

[php]<?php
echo ‘hello world’;
?>[/php]

i opened it in internet explorer and it took 1-3 minutes to be loaded. Although it is very short code, is this normal speed or there is some problem in configuration. I used easyphp for installing php.
Please tell me is this normal or not?

It is not normal, that should take milliseconds to parse.

Yep, I agree with Jim, you should see that almost instantly…

You sure it’s not an IE problem… (<-- that was my underlying hate for IE showing through :P)
