Okay, I just want to say that I've looked and looked, both on this message
board and on PHP.net, trying to find a way to get my own PHP to work. Alas,
I feel that I've tried it all.
Okay, here's the deal. I've installed Apache, and it works great. No
problems. It boots up, and if it could talk, it would say "Nothing pleases
me more than to fun correctly for you, master!" Yeah, okay, back to the
story.
I go ahead and download PHP 4.1.1 for Win32 platform. I try and do the
exact setup with the intstall.txt file, following everything exactly, triple
checking and trying again. This is for the CGI setup. So I make a test
page that looks like this:
<?
php_info();
?>
and I checked the syntax and was assured that it was right. I put this file
in the htdocs directory of my Apache folder, and tried opening it in the
browser. Rather than all the info I'd expect about PHP displaying, I insead
get:
<?
php_info();
?>
... this isn't right.
So I think "maybe it's just not supposed to be CGI on my machine." So I
reset everything, and start to do the module setup, following everything
exactly. Again, however, when running the exact same test, I get the same
un-parsed script just displayed back for my viewing pleasure.
Then I find that maybe I should add the LoadModule mod_php4.c line to my
httpd.conf file... and still not working. Hmmm...
Now, really, I wish that I didn't have to have a server on my computer to
test PHP. Really, I wish that it just magically worked, because I really
don't want to have to deal with servers, just code. However, I know this is
not the case, so I come to you kind people for advice.
I am running Service Pack 2 on my Win2K machine, if that makes any
difference... I just want to know how I can get my code to show.
Thanks so much,
