Sounds like your Apache is not correctly set to pass php files. Heres how it
should be done:
Open httpd.conf
Search for "# Dynamic Shared Object (DSO) Support"
This should show a long list of commented (lines with # in front) lines.
Scroll to the bottom of the list and add:
LoadModule php4_module C:/server/PHP/php4apache.dll
Ensure that this command actually points to php4apache.dll. Also, you need
to find and copy php4ts.dll into EXACTLY the same directory as
php4apache.dll.
If you continue to scroll down, the next session after the "LoadModule"
lines should be "AddModule". At the bottom of this list, you need to add the
line
AddModule mod_php4.c
Okay, so that is php installed, but next you need to set it so that .php
files are run using php! To do this, search for
"# AddType allows you to tweak mime.types without actually editing it, or
to"
You may already have a short list of options here, all you need to add is
AddType application/x-httpd-php .php
This tells Apache that all files that end in .php should be parsed using
php. Your files should now be working! One other feature you might like...
by default Apache will search for an index.html file to be display. You can
change this to load any file you like. Just search for
"# DirectoryIndex: Name of the file or files to use as a pre-written HTML"
Below it you should see this
<IfModule mod_dir.c>
DirectoryIndex index.html
</IfModule>
Simply add the files you would like to be displayed by default. Apache works
from left to right so this:
<IfModule mod_dir.c>
DirectoryIndex index.php index.html
</IfModule>
Would first look for an "index.php" file, and if it was not found, then
search for an "index.html"
Good Luck
