Where is my "document root"?

I've read quite a bit, but for some reason am having trouble figuring out where my "document root" is located.

I looked in the file "httpd.conf" and it tells me that the server root is located at "C:/xampp/apache"

So I created a folder and simple PHP file in that folder. The folder is located at file:///C:/xampp/apache/php_practice/hello.php which I browse to from within my browser. The HTML reads OK, but there's no PHP text showing.

I have the xampp control panel open and it looks like Apache is running, MySql is also running. Am I not looking/working in the right folder?

Maybe my coding is bad - it's a little snippet I got off a PHP "learning" site:

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head></head>
<body>

Agent: So who do you think you are, anyhow?

<?php
// print output
echo "Neo: I am Neo, but my people call me The One.";
?>

</body>
</html>

This may be the wrong area to post, but I'm having difficulty locating information about the Apache installation. At the Apache site it indicates that there is an active Apache community, but so far I've been unable to find a forum that deals with Apache. If someone has a link I'd appreciate it.

Fixed the problem ...

Uninstalled and deleted Xampp. Installed EasyPHP which came with better instructions.
