Re: Is there a special directory in which php scripts are to be placed

PHP is an embedded scripting language. You put it right alongside your HTML -- in the same file in many cases. If you're running PHP as CGI, you probably do need a script alias -- I've never dealt with this issue. But if you're running PHP as a module, then you can put PHP files wherever you want. You get a PHP file in the URL and you get plain HTML back on the client (in most cases). You don't need to set up a script alias for PHP files. Dean.
