xml parsing with apache

I've got a program that can export files to xml format, and I wanted to use this to put up these files on my site for easy access from various locations as well as show/tell amongst the people I associate with. However I'm running into issues (d'uh, or I wouldn't be writing this) and I haven't had luck trying to dig through the archives. Here's my current setup: altaica:/usr/local/apache/bin# ./httpd -V Server version: Apache/1.3.27 (Unix) Server built: Apr 17 2003 18:30:21 Server's Module Magic Number: 19990320:13 Server compiled with.... -D HAVE_MMAP -D HAVE_SHMGET -D USE_SHMGET_SCOREBOARD -D USE_MMAP_FILES -D HAVE_FCNTL_SERIALIZED_ACCEPT -D HAVE_SYSVSEM_SERIALIZED_ACCEPT -D SINGLE_LISTEN_UNSERIALIZED_ACCEPT -D HARD_SERVER_LIMIT=256 -D HTTPD_ROOT="/usr/local/apache" -D SUEXEC_BIN="/usr/local/apache/bin/suexec" -D DEFAULT_PIDLOG="logs/httpd.pid" -D DEFAULT_SCOREBOARD="logs/httpd.scoreboard" -D DEFAULT_LOCKFILE="logs/httpd.lock" -D DEFAULT_ERRORLOG="logs/error_log" -D TYPES_CONFIG_FILE="conf/mime.types" -D SERVER_CONFIG_FILE="conf/httpd.conf" -D ACCESS_CONFIG_FILE="conf/access.conf" -D RESOURCE_CONFIG_FILE="conf/srm.conf" altaica:/usr/local/lib# php -v PHP 4.3.1 (cli) (built: Apr 17 2003 20:23:19) Copyright (c) 1997-2002 The PHP Group Zend Engine v1.3.0, Copyright (c) 1998-2002 Zend Technologies altaica:/usr/local/lib# php -m [PHP Modules] bz2 calendar ctype dba mysql ncurses openssl overload pcre posix session standard tokenizer xml zlib [Zend Modules] I've gotten the module loaded successfully, even have forums and such running that use php code - but despite what you see here that shows the xml module was built in php, I can't get it to parse on my server. I tried editing the following line to add .xml and .xhtml but it didn't help: AddType application/x-httpd-php .php .phtml .php3 .xml .xhtml The instructions located here aren't too helpful either: http://us4.php.net/manual/en/ref.xml.php Anyone have suggestions? Perhaps it's just the file itself that's causing the problem..? The first line is: <?xml version="1.0"?> and with the .xml and .xhtml in the above httpd.conf entry I get the following error: Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_STRING in /home/tib/public_html/1250kroot.xml on line 1 Without it the url for the xml file just spits out a single line of text that is useless for human consumption. Thanks in advance. <EOL> Tib
