RE: [PHP] installing php on apache

You say. . . "But I shutdown and restart apache and try to run load a .html file in my browser" Did you mean a .php file? My guess is that this is likely to be your problem. Unless you make the change I specified, apache _will not_ parse any php code in a .html file (or any other file, except a .php). If you did everything else exactly as the documentation told you, and apache otherwise runs correctly, AND you can invoke 'php foo.php' on the command line and it will output correctly (make a file that contains '<?php phpinfo(); ?>' in the c:\php directory, and php yourfile.php. If you see a ton of stuff scroll by, php is working), then there is likely to be a problem with your configuration. This will be difficult to find without being able to see your httpd.conf file.
