Re: Basic question (?php not working in html)

In your apache configuration, add the following line: AddHandler application/x-httpd-php .php This tells apache to pass files ending with .php to the built in PHP interpreter. -Brendan ----- Brendan W.

I just installed php4 (with apache on linux) and can get the following to work: if I create a file like test.php and put <?phpinfo()?> in it, going to myserver/test.php with a a browser shows phpinfo. but if I try to do the following in an html file: <HTML><BODY><?phpinfo()?></BODY></HTML> nothing happens. That is the browser shows a blank screen. Any idea why php might work in a php file and not in an html file. Thanx in advance. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
