Preserved Topic: PHP help in Windows 98 Machine (Page 1 of 1)

I recently went through the instilation of MySQL, PHP3, PHP4, and Apache pretty painlessly. I actually found some websites that make the instilation even easier. There's is only one problem i have run into.
I configured Apache just to run PHP3 for now. When i go to view or execute a PHP script all i get is the source code for that script bisplayed in my browser. Can anyone help me out, i'm not too shure what to do. I've played with the httpd.conf file a little to try to get PHP to exicute, but to no avail.
Any help is appreciated, i have expericence installing programs, but i have never installed and configured a webserver. I'm actually finding this stuff useful. Not only do I have more knowledge of how the 'Web' works, but i'm getting ideas for my future home network.

try www.phpbuilder.com, they have two tutorials on doing what your doing, your going to have to add/change quite a few, like 7-15, depending on your certian needs.

By the way, not to get off on a rant, it really pisses me off, when someone posts in the wrong forum, and the someone replies saying that they posted in the wrong forum. It just tweaks my twiddle. I just wanna say, "good job pal, now we all know that this guy posted in the wrong forum, whoopy do". But, its all for the best, so oh well.

note : I was thinking about it, and it doesnt piss me off, if the person trys to help and then in like a PS, says to post in the right forum next time. Only when people do like one liners


"wrong forum bud"
"shouldn't this go in the <insert forum name> forum?"

I think im going to start writing a weekly "things that piss me off" post. seems to me that theres way to much that pisses me off, i think it needs to be documented !

Oh yea, burwell, you shoulf prolly post this is in the server side scripting forum, might get better replies

Burwell, I don't have PHP3 on my Windows machine, but I have PHP4 and here's how it's installed. I added the following line to the httpd.conf:

LoadModule php4_module C:/PHP/sapi/php4apache.dll

And after that uncommented the following two lines:

AddType application/x-httpd-php .php
AddType application/x-httpd-php-source .phps

Now, regarding PHP3, I think that you'll have to add the following lines to your httpd.conf:

Action application/x-httpd-php3 "C:/PHP3/php.exe"
AddType application/x-httpd-php3 .php3

Anyhow, check the manual for more information: http://www.php.net/manual/en/install-windows95-nt.php
