and.. it still doesn't work. I created a test file:
?php

// Show all information, defaults to INFO_ALL
phpinfo();

// Show just the module information.
// phpinfo(8) yields identical results.
phpinfo(INFO_MODULES);

?>

and that is what shows in opera. Firefox just continually opens new unnamed 
windows constantly..
