 * I’ve been working at this all day and I’m ready to throw my computer out the 
   window. I have no idea what I’m doing wrong. I followed the 5-minute installation
   and when I run install.php, I get an page that says this:
 * ‘.__(‘Already Installed’).’
 * ‘.__(‘You appear to have already installed WordPress. To reinstall please clear
   your old database tables first.’).’
    ‘);} switch($step) { case 0: case 1: // 
   in case people are directly linking to this display_header(); ?>
 * ReadMe documentation at your leisure. Otherwise, just fill in the information
   below and you\’ll be on your way to using the most extendable and powerful personal
   publishing platform in the world.’), ‘../readme.html’); ?>
 * error) ) wp_die($wpdb->error->get_error_message()); display_header(); // Fill
   in the data we gathered $weblog_title = isset($_POST[‘weblog_title’]) ? stripslashes(
   $_POST[‘weblog_title’]) : ”; $admin_email = isset($_POST[‘admin_email’]) ? stripslashes(
   $_POST[‘admin_email’]) : ”; $public = isset($_POST[‘blog_public’]) ? (int) $_POST[‘
   blog_public’] : 0; // check e-mail address if (empty($admin_email)) { // TODO:
   poka-yoke die(‘
 * ‘.__(“ERROR: you must provide an e-mail address.”).’
    ‘); } else if (!is_email(
   $admin_email)) { // TODO: poka-yoke die(‘
 * ‘.__(‘ERROR: that isn’t a valid e-mail address. E-mail addresses look like: [username@example.com](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/installing-wordpress-5/username@example.com?output_format=md)’).’
   ‘);}
   $wpdb->show_errors(); $result = wp_install($weblog_title, ‘admin’, $admin_email,
   $public); extract($result, EXTR_SKIP); ?>
 *  admin
 * ‘.__(‘Note that password carefully! It is a random password that was generated
   just for you.’).”; ?>
