Re: Problem with Search Engine Friendly URLs under PHP & Windows XP

Toying with Apache further, I actually was able to get this to work a few minutes I posted the thread. What I was doing wrong was running PHP as a CGI rather than using it as SAPI module. Hopefully this helps other folks as I was going nuts going through google.com trying to find a solution. Add this line to your httpd.conf with the path to php4apache.dll included in the Windows distribution: LoadModule php4_module C:\apache\php\sapi\php4apache.dll Then add this line: AddModule mod_php4.c Then add the MIME types for PHP: AddType application/x-httpd-php .php3 AddType application/x-httpd-php .php AddType application/x-httpd-php .phtml Also, you'll need to copy php4ts.dll into your c:\Windows\System32 folder. After all that, this feature works under Windows whoohoo :) "Gerard Samuel" <gsam@trini0.org> wrote in message news:3E203CCB.50403@trini0.org... > As far as I know, this technique doesn't work under windows... > > Jonathan Chum wrote: > > >I'm following various tutorials online that uses the PATH_INFO to do this, > >however Apache isn't playing nicely.
