Php

Sorry, dude, but you can post your question in the Scripting Forum. This is a bulletin board site on the web, not usenet.

it'll probably help also if you told us exactly what you are having touble with.

right heres the problem
I install php, mysql and apache.
i know apache works because it comes up and tells you also mysql comes up correctly. but php gggrrrr.
I move the relevent files around and convert what u are suposed to and when i do a test page it just brings up the script not the bit it is supposed to display.

Did you edit the httpd.conf file for Apache? You need to add two or so lines to tell it which files need to be sent to the php parser.

Have a look also in the php.ini file.

Are the file extensions .php?

also, there's an order in which you install apache and php. i don't remember which one goes first (apache?). whenever i had to install them, i used the manual on php.net and it always went fine. if you could attach your httpd.conf here, that would clarify a lot of things.

Apache goes in before PHP. MySQL can be compiling at the same time as Apache (mysql can take a while, so I usually start it before running configure for apache).

PHP can have other requisits depending on your ./configure options.

or the easier way is to download a bundle and it installs itself
