Re: <?php ... ?> ignored by Apache

Did you configure Apache to treat .html files as PHP files? It sounds like you are naming your files whatever.html but I bet you only configured Apache to parse whatever.php. Look for this line: AddType application/x-httpd-php .php And change it to: AddType application/x-httpd-php .html If you want Apache to parse normal .html files for PHP. Or put both .php and .html there. Don't forget to restart your server after making the change. -Rasmus On Sun, 21 Apr 2002, R.J.Peach wrote: > Hello. > > First - This may well be a problem principally to do with apache, > but if so (it appears to be) specifically with apache/php interaction > so here goes.... > > I have been experimenting with apache 1.3.23 / php 4.1.2 for several weeks > now and have met with a problem that has me puzzled. > > I have built Apache & php from source on linux and have elected to statically > bind php to apache (i.e. httpd -l reports mod_php4.c) > > Om my local apache server, I can execute cgi-bin programs in C and perl perfectly well > to service POST requests from html pages. > > I have access to a remote server, which also runs these cgi-bins correctly. > > I also built the command line version of php - which executes simple php code > from the console. > > php -i > info.html > produces an html page that (as far as I can see) is OK. > > As far as I can tell, I have the necessary additions to httpd.conf to > recognise php mime types. > > HOWEVER. > On both my local and on the remote server, attempts to execute > html with embedded <?php (or any other alternative to this) act as if > the server was treating the html inclusions as comments.
