I'm a clueless newbie who just downloaded php-4.3.0-Win32 to Win 98, and am
having multiple problems.
1. When I click on the manual's test program ("Hello World") in IE 6.0, it
brings up a MSDOS box, rather than execute the php file. I can't find
anything in the manual that says how to get a php file to operate locally
from a browser. Any Suggestions?
2. Also, I found that in order to get cli/php.exe to execute from the
command line, I had to copy php4ts.dll into the cli directory. So maybe
that's a bug in the installation program.
3. But when I aimed cli/php.exe at the test file, it just echoed the code,
rather than execute it! Huh?
4. I uploaded the test file to my host, who's running a v. 4.3.0.3 server
and got the error message that the parser expected a '('' on line 11.
The code is:
<html> <head> <title>PHP Test</title> </head>
<body> <?php echo "Hello World<p>"; ?> </body>
</html>
so there is no line 11!
Even when I gave it parens:
<html> <head> <title>PHP Test</title> </head>
<body> <?php echo ("Hello World"); ?> </body>
</html>
I got the same error message.
All suggestions will be welcomed!

OK, Scratch problem 4.
I just found out that my host requires a .php3 extension to get to the v. 3
server.
I hope the other 2 problems can be solved so simply. <G>

hi,
1. I think that there is an element of confusion here:
a. php can be used from the command line (this is usefull for various
tools, such a cron jobs or time scheduled jobs etc...), here's an
example:
make a file called hello.php using this code
<?php echo "Hello World"; ?>
then open the command prompt and cd to to /php/cli
and type
php -q hello.php
it will respond with
Hello World
b. you seem to be after using php with webpages -- i.e. accessit from
your browser. This requires a webserver (such as apache [or IIS]) along
with php.
2. you can download and install a pre-conigured installation of apache,
php etc..
such as SWAMP
download:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/swamp/
forum:
http://swamp.sourceforge.net
or FoxServ
http://www.foxserv.net
etc...
3. or you can download apache (www.apache.org) and set it up to run with
php

True, but the faq says that it can be executed locally if the php
program exists locally.
I would like to be able to debug my scripts locally before uploading them to
my server.
So I assumed that it would act like a plug-in in my browser.
I have no desire to run a server. That's why I pay someone to host my
webpage.
If I can execute php from the command line, without running Apache, why
can't I execute it from my browser within Windows, without running Apache?
Is it truly the case that I can't debug a script without FTPing it up to
my host and running it remotely, even if I have the entire PHP program
locally?
