Hi everyone, I have spent the last 3 days at a complete loss as to why my PHP is not working on Apache.
I have followed step by step the very clear guide off your website http://www.apachelounge.com/viewtopic.php?t=570
and the server is up and running, i can view the success page at http://myip:8080 or whatever just fine, but as soon as I put any php in the index page (at the moment I am just putting this in
| Code: |
<html>
<body>
<?php
print "<h1>Hi there from my PHP program!</h1>";
?>
</body>
</html>
|
But all I am getting over and over again is this (note the residual tags and its not even being formatted as a heading)
| Code: |
Hi there from my PHP program!"; ?> |
Nothing I can do has changed anything at all. Im being to wonder whether I am doing something fundamentally wrong, because I tried to install Xitami with PHP and got the exact same result.
Please help me, I am wasting amazing amounts of time doing this hehe 
Thanks In Advance,
Laura |

Laura,
I just did a direct copy your PHP code, and saved as index.php. It displays exactly as you would expect: produce a page with an H1 with the 'Hi there...' and no residual PHP close tag. I know this may sound silly, but Are you saving your page with a .php extension? |

if you made the config as in the guide showed. Your file extension is wrong! make sure that is only .php and not .php.txt or what ever. Windows XP/2000 normaly don't show extension of known file types.
