Okay, the problems I was having before was because the version of php didn't want to play with appache 2.2. But, I downloaded every up to date and when I restart, I am no longer getting the syntax error codes. The problem seems to be when told to put http://localhost/phpinfo.php into my web browser, I don't get anything but a 404 error code on the web page. I get the "It works" when trying the appache http://localhost.
What should I do now?

Open the "root" of your web hosting directory & create a page named phpinfo.php.

Assuming that you probably want to put the following code in there.

<?php
  phpinfo();
?>

Since you are getting a 404, it's because the page doesn't exist. If it should exist, then explorer your webservers file system. You may just have your paths wrong.

Okay, I assume that by "root" you mean my server root or directory root? (of the configuration file or the php.ini file)...or someplace else? Sorry to sound so dumb.

By root I am referring to http://localhost/ <--

The root of the viewable web site.
