namespace aname;
echo "Hello world";

What's the error there? – CRISHK Corporation May 30 '15 at 12:16

1So you don't have php 5.4. You have php < 5.3. – Federkun May 30 '15 at 12:16

Just ran into the exact same issue... just to let you know that it's a valid question : ) The issue seems to be with an error occurring, but somehow the error doesn't bubble up. – Jacco Sep 14 '18 at 22:14

as per @Jacco I had the same issue, errors turned on and correct php but still blank page but LOG showed issue "PHP Fatal error: Namespace declaration statement has to be the very first statement in the script" – geo Jan 02 '20 at 05:09

I had the same problem just now. The solution was to convert the php-file encoding to UTF-8 without BOM.
You can read about it here: Fix incorrectly displayed encoding on an html document with php and here: How to fix "Headers already sent" error in PHP

Most likely, you haven't actually installed PHP, or at least not correctly. Make sure that it's in your C:\ drive and that you followed the instillation instructions. If you used the installer, then try uninstalling then reinstalling and it should fix itself
Peace!

1If you read the comments, then you'll notice that the OP is receiving PHP parser errors, so PHP _is_ installed. I'm 99.9% confident that the OP simply has an outdated PHP version in use as already mentioned by @Leggendario. – ndm May 30 '15 at 13:45
