Apache PHP and MYSQL

[Dragon_Phantomn]

Hi i am a complete noob when it comes to this.

 

I installed apache web server the latest version 2.2.6, and latest php 5.2.0rc4.

 

Apache runs fine but i cant get my php files to show properly they come up as code and dont execute?

 

What ive done so far to the httpd.conf is

 

    LoadModule php5_module "C:/PHP/php5apache2_2.dll

    AddType application/x-httpd-php .php

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

 

And i created the php file in notepad and renamed it to a php file(The extension)

 

the page comes up as code the code is:

 

<?php

phpinfo();

?>

 

Any help would be most welcome as i have to make a pagr for my diertation and still need to get mysql working lol.

 

Thank you all for your time

Those configuration lines are correct. Did you restart Apache after modifying the httpd.conf. Also when creating php files in notepad make sure you select All Files from the File Type drop down box when you goto File > Save As... (That will stop Notepad from add .txt to the end of the file name.

 

When you go to run your script make sure you are going to http://localhost/ and not opening the php script directly into your browser, via File > Open or Open With within windows explorer.

 

Also PHP5.2.0rc4 is out of date. PHP5.2 has now been release and the latest version is PHP5.2.4
