Hi All, I'm a newguy to PHP but not to coding. Simple URLs are driving me buggy right now, so I'm hoping someone can shed some light on the topic for me. Firstly, I'm running on NT 4.0 w/IE 5.5, PHP 4.0.2 and Apache 1.3.12. I have been expecting to express a PHP script as: (not a working URL here...) http://host.dom/php/work_will_you.php Unfortunately, I have been able to run a script only with some very strange URLs; for example: 1) http://host.dom/php/php/work_will_you.php, 2) http://host.dom/php-bin/php/work_will_you.php but not what I want. Jeez, this should be so simple... Anyway, how do I get what I want? Here are the relevant sections from the config files... From %WINDOWS%\php.ini engine = On safe_mode = On safe_mode_exec_dir = drive:\path\dir (configured) include_path = doc_root = drive:\path\dir (same as safe_mode_exec_dir) user_dir = extension_dir = another_drv:\php extension=php_zlib.dll From Apache config files... ScriptAlias /php/ "drive:/path/dir/" (same as safe_mode_exec_dir) AddType application/x-httpd-php .php AddType application/x-httpd-php .phtml Action application/x-httpd-php "/php/php.exe" This configuration requires the browser URL to be: http://host.dom/php/php/work_will_you.php Why specify php twice?
