GIVE THEM THE PASSWORD. The user name is the magic cookie; tell them this. When they go to that page, apache demands the user name and password, which they give, and the page then (thanks to the query string having the item name) makes a download link available.

I went and read the manuals and am here now posting the question so as to get the right direction. I have heard the argument and actually agreed. It would be better to use the PHP_EOL instead. I have been directed in the right direction. So I will be changing my code to reflect.

[PHP] Installing PHP
Hi all, (Hopefully I posted this in a place that can/will help me) I got curious about running php / apache on my own laptop in order to help my devl process, instead of writing, uploading and testing on my site. Found a nice pair of docs from thesitewizard.com that appeared to be pretty well-written instructions on installing each of these systems. btw- I'm running XpSp2. Chose the Apache 2.0 and PHP 5.2 (thread-safe?) per the recommendations. Went thru all instructions step-by-step, testing all the way. Apache works - PHP doesn't. When I bring up IE and type in localhost I get the default apache page as I was told I should see. When I type localhost/test.php I get a windows dialog asking what program should run the php script. In debugging I went to a cmd windows and ran c:\php\php-cgi test.php and got the expected result from my script - so PHP works. End result - they each work separately, but php is not working under apache. As part of the docs instructions I added the following code to the apache conf file: 1 - I chose the configure apache to run php as an apache module. 2 - added LoadModule php5_module c:/php/php5apache2.dll as last one of those lines 3 - added AddType application/x-httpd-php .php as the last of those lines 4 - added PHPIniDir c:/php as the last line of the conf file. Upon adding these lines apache will no longer restart. In fact adding any ONE of these lines breaks Apache. Ideas welcome. And for those who still love the USofA, Happy Independence Day! -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

I have the apache 2.2.17 This php5apache2.dll is for the version 2.0.x And this php5apache2_2.dll for the version 2.2.x Maybe the dll files is in the brong version.

Found a nice pair of docs from thesitewizard.com that appeared to be pretty well-written instructions on installing each of these systems. btw- I'm running XpSp2. Chose the Apache 2.0 and PHP 5.2 (thread-safe?) per the recommendations. Went thru all instructions step-by-step, testing all the way. Apache works - PHP doesn't. When I bring up IE and type in localhost I get the default apache page as I was told I should see. When I type localhost/test.php I get a windows dialog asking what program should run the php script. In debugging I went to a cmd windows and ran c:\php\php-cgi test.php and got the expected result from my script - so PHP works. End result - they each work separately, but php is not working under apache. As part of the docs instructions I added the following code to the apache conf file: 1 - I chose the configure apache to run php as an apache module. 2 - added LoadModule php5_module c:/php/php5apache2.dll as last one of those lines 3 - added AddType application/x-httpd-php .php as the last of those lines 4 - added PHPIniDir c:/php as the last line of the conf file. Upon adding these lines apache will no longer restart. In fact adding any ONE of these lines breaks Apache. Ideas welcome.

You may need to add c:\php\ to the Windows path so that the Apache mod can find other files it may need. If you have mysql or other extensions enabled in php.ini, then they may be looking for another dll that is located in the php dir.

Re: [PHP] Re: Installing PHP
What is your document root set to in your httpd.conf file? By default it should be htdocs subdirectory in apache program files.

Jim, Alejandro makes a valid point. There is a naming convention change from apache 2.0. to 2.2 for the dll file. I know in your original post you specified that you loaded 2.0, but you may want to double check. Since 2.2 requires php5apache2_2.dll to work correctly.
