One more thing i did put the two lines in apache

LoadModule php4_module c:/php/sapi/php4apache.dll
and the
addType application/x-httpd-php /php4

i just tested a simple php page in htdocs\ (where my webserver folder is) but nothing
it doesnt do anything

so does anyone know wats up with it

i think you also need to install php4 on your server
sleep is good

deecee:

"and php is running as a module" implies it is installed.


sanjdhiman:

The quick test for PHP is to invoke the phpinfo() function.

Create a script that reads:
<?php
phpinfo()
?>

And write it to a file that is within the document root of an Apache virtual server. If everything is running, it'll output all kinds of information about your PHP installation. Want the best answers? Ask the best questions:

Go to

http://www.foxserv.net/portal.php

and download for the operating system you need.

It will install Apache/MySQL/PHP in one installation and everything will work together without any problems. You are asked a few simple questions along the way.

Just make sure you have uninstalled the previous versions of Apache and MySQL and PHP that you installed separately
