My /etc/httpd/httpd.conf file includes these lines: <IfDefine PHP> LoadModule php3_module /usr/lib/apache/libphp3.so </IfDefine> <IfDefine PHP4> LoadModule php4_module /usr/lib/apache/libphp4.so </IfDefine> and these: # # AddType allows you to tweak mime.types without actually editing it, or to # make certain files to be certain types. # # For example, the PHP 3.x module (not part of the Apache distribution - see # http://www.php.net) will typically use: # <IfModule mod_php3.c> AddType application/x-httpd-php3 .php3 AddType application/x-httpd-php3-source .phps AddType application/x-httpd-php3 .phtml </IfModule> # # And for PHP 4.x, use: # <IfModule mod_php4.c> AddType application/x-httpd-php .php AddType application/x-httpd-php .php4 AddType application/x-httpd-php-source .phps </IfModule> > Perhaps the extension of your file doesn't have the PHP processor > associated with it (if it is installed as an Apache process)? > See above. > Maybe you are using the CGI version incorrectly? > I think I am using the module. > With the command line version, you still need the <?php ?> tags before it > will process the PHP code. > > e.g. > #!/usr/bin/php > > <?php > echo "Hey, I am working fine."; > ?> > > That should work as you expect. > Thanks for that tip. That fixed the command line script I was working on. Now, if I could get the module working... I think I just figured it out. I think the problem was the location of the file. I was trying to open a file in my home directory, not in apache's DocumentRoot directory as defined in the httpd.conf file. Once I moved the file there, it ran fine. Thanks you all for your help.
