Hi all,
Working with the PHP5 for Dummies book (yup real noob, feel free to ridicule
(after telling me what I've done wrong)) and have installed Apache 2.2 and
PHP 5.3.3 onto a laptop running Vista. (yes I know!!!).
I've had Apache running fine with my basic web site created using Serif's
Webplus10 but wanted to experiment with PHP as I want an uploadable area on
my website for my friends and family to submit video/photos.
I've checked the install of PHP using php -v and I get the output that
PHP 5.3.3 (cli) (built: Jul 21 2010 20:10:20)
but when I try and go to the test.php file (below) I get an http 403 webiste
requires you to log in. Error message.
<html>
<head>
<title>PHP Test</title>
</head>
<body>
<p>This is an HTML line
<?php
echo "<p>This is a PHP line</p>";
phpinfo();
?>
</body>
</html>
This is the text of the test.php file which I have plonked down in
/apache/htdocs
What have I missed?
the Dummies book is quoting PHP 5.0.0 as the latest release so not too far
away really.
Thanks for your help.
Cheers.
