On a Windows 7 development machine, I have expression web 3, PHP 5 installed
I have been using expression web and PHP for a while, and previewing php pages etc on pressing F12 (preview using local server). Suddenly on F12 all PHP pages display as blank, even a phpinfo() file. Standard html pages continue to work correctly on F12.
If I place the same page php inside the default website on inetpub and browse using localhost then the phpinfo() file works.  So I know that php is installed and configured correctly for IIS.
Things I've checked:
- Gone into site settings in Expression web and confirmed that php is selected and it is pointing to the php executable
- Reinstalled php
- Checked iis that the php extension is registered.
- Copied files to a different machine with expression web and php installed and it works on.
- The strange thing is that it gives a blank (no errors) page inside expression web, but does work inside inetpub
- This was working up until recently, then suddenly stopped for no reason.
