fugix Posted June 22, 2011 Share Posted June 22, 2011 The message that you reveive tells me that you do not have php properly installed on your localhost server. What directory do you have your php file in Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geekme Posted June 22, 2011 Author Share Posted June 22, 2011 beg your pardon but I simply wrote sudo apt-get install php and now when I write php -v..the terminal gives a complete info about the version of php installed , doesnt this mean that php is installed properly, moreover how do I figure out the location/dir having php?
