Right I uninstalled XAMPP and re-installed it, so I'm going to start a fresh.
How do I find the localhost:80 and do all the correct settings so I can use it.

forget localhost:80
start xampp / make sure xampp is running
make sure there is a file test_xampp.php in C:\xampp\htdocs
if there is no such file use the text editor to create the file and put the content mentioned earlier in that file, save the file, close the texteditor
click link
http://localhost/test_xampp.php
What happens then?

Index of a file?
Did you right click in the windows explorer and chose New->Folder?
Then you have create a folder, not a file.

Si. Now, you should make the file like volka asked you to.

In case you're doing this on purpose: ha ha, not funny.
If not I suggest you ask someone who can be physically present and see what you're doing. It may take years otherwise (no offense).

Ok, you see php is working.
The phpinfo() page already told us but now you also know you can create a new php script and it is executed by your webserver.
Happy php'ing

Thank you so for the inconvenience I may have caused.
I'm going to add a template to it once I've worked out how to do that then play with the coding.
