Hi Luis,
You are running PHP as a CGI, which is what I've been doing for about 3 years
now with no problems. Now I am trying to use a
piece of Open Source software which is written entirely in PHP, but the install
bit fails and I was told this was because PHP
has to run as a module.
For me for some reason editing the httpd.conf didn't seem to work, so
eventually I deleted it, took the httpd_default.conf
file saved that as httpd.conf, added the lines from the PHP manaul for a module
and now it all works. More importantly some of
the scripts I've written are quite complex, I've tested the most complex ones
and they are all still working as well.
Thanks to everyone who replied for the help they provided.

I haven't bothered to benchmark this, but here is my own solution to
this problem. If you already have a common file that you are including
in every script then the cost should be very low. Feel free to use it
if you prefer.
Apache
htdocs
site1
includes
common.php
test_include.php
testfolder
test2.php
site2
includes
(those four files)
etc...
<!-- common.php -->
<?php
$basedir = dirname(__FILE__) . '/';
?>
<!-- test_include.php -->
<?
include_once common.php;
/** Now you can include files relative to the base directory */
include_once $basedir . 'testfolder/test2.php';
?>

The inludes folder is thrown around as more of a
generic term for a directory that includes important
files. Is this a pretty good definition for the
purpose of an 'includes' folder?
Also, I've seen the following syntax before:
(__FILE__). Why the underscores?
thanks-

Sure, that's a fine definition. And the setup that I proposed isn't the
only way to do it, but the basic idea is this: if you have a common file
that gets included with every script then you can use the directory
where this file is located as your "home" directory.
Also, I've seen the following syntax before:
(__FILE__). Why the underscores?
thanks-
__FILE__ is a "magic" constant. There are several "magic" constants:

Hi,
My server is on dynamic IP and I'm using NO-IP.com (or similar service)
to get a boring-weeeird-name.com :) Now, is it possible to send email
via PHP thru that server? Or do I need to use some sort of command-line
MUA / mail client to enable sending EMAILS using PHP?
Using the Apache 1.3.33, PHP5 on Win XP Pro. Please advise.
Thanks.
Hassan
