php installation on windows.....

[k_tech]

hello everyone, after installing apache, mysql, and php, I have trouble creating php page to display in the browser correctly, apache is working after going to http://localhost, it displays a page just fine, but when creating php page with regular notepad and put it in the apache directory, the page displays the php code, I did move the .ini file that comes with php to the windows\system32 folder as the installation cd explains. I'm probably missing something any thoughts to what I'm missing?

 

thanks in advance

you didn't say vhat is version of Apache, but anyway..

 

you probably miss to add this line in your httpd.conf file

AddType application/x-httpd-php .php

 

and maybe this line too:

LoadModule php5_module "c:/php/php5apache2.dll"

 

// offcourse, if you want to use php as an Apache module insted of CGI..

 

 

all that you can find on: http://www.php.net/manual/en/install.windows.manual.php

 

good luck

I installed the newest WAMP package. Does it add those lines of code to the httpd.conf file or do I have to do it manually?

 

I am having the same problem but instead of seeing the php code I get a 404 error. I am using Vista

WAMP is a pre-configured package which means it sets everything up for you during installation. You should not need to change anything to get it working.
