Re: [PHP] I rest my case
Hello Warwick, You're correct in assuming that Apache isn't set up right. It needs to be set to parse the .php files. Here's how to do this: Locate httpd.conf (/usr/local/apache/conf/httpd.conf for my compile). And uncomment/add these lines: AddType application/x-httpd-php .php .php3 AddType application/x-httpd-php-source .phps That tells apache to parse .php and .php3 files. The .phps files will show the syntax highlighted version of the code.

However, your problem #1 sounds like an Apache configuration thing - to run php under apache you need at least some sort of addtype entry in your httpd.conf. I use: # AddType allows you to tweak mime.types without actually editing it, or to # make certain files to be certain types. # For PHP 4.x, use: AddType application/x-httpd-php .php .php3 .html which tells apache to use php to parse files with extensions listed. I don't know whether the redhat apache rpm uses DSO or not - ther may be problems there also. But check for the addtype entry first - and remember to 'apachectl graceful' to force a reread of the conf file if you change anything in it. -- David Robley Techno-JoaT, Web Maintainer, Mail List Admin, etc CENTRE FOR INJURY STUDIES Flinders University, SOUTH AUSTRALIA Useless Invention: Screen door on a submarine. -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To contact the list administrators, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
