Apache 1.3.x, PHP 4.x, and XP. Displaying PHP as text.

[kasuals]

Hey all,

This is about the 900th time I've installed PHP and Apache together on an XP box, but for whatever reason I am overlooking something, and I need some help.

For whatever reason, index.php is displayed as a text file. For instance:

<? phpinfo(); ?>

is displayed instead of parsing the .php extension.

AddType is in my httpd.conf, and PHP is loaded (or at least it says it is when Apache loads) and I haven't had any real errors.

Any ideas?

Thanks ahead of time.

Try opening your php as follows:

<?php phpinfo(); ?>

Ensure in httpd.conf you have DirectoryIndexset up to recognize index.php.

Also,
You might not have php configured to (php.ini) to allow short open tags. Also look at engine directive. it should be set to on (allows php scripting language engine under apache)

Hope this helps!


Cheers!
