Note Submitter: The Unacoder ---- For PHP and Apache 2.0 on Windows, CGI (not module) flavour, here's another example of the lines you must add to Apache's httpd.conf: AddType application/x-httpd-php .php Action application/x-httpd-php "/php-exe-location/php.exe" ScriptAlias /php-exe-location/ "c:/Program Files/php-4.3.3-Win32/" These allow you to have PHP installed in "c:\Program Files" (where it belongs so it doesn't clutter up c:\). Also, for explanation purposes only, I've re-ordered the statements into the order in which Apache uses them to process an incoming request. Corresponding to the lines above, here's what happens to an incoming request for http://www.mySite.com/myPHP/foo.php: (1) the "AddType" directive means all requests ending in ".php" will be MIME type "application/x-httpd-php" (2) the "Action" directive means anything of MIME type "application/x-httpd-php" will get acted upon by something with URL (not file system path) of "/php-exe-location/php.exe" (3) the "ScriptAlias" directive means any URL with "/php-exe-location/" will get that mapped to "c:/Program Files/php-4.3.3-Win32/" in the file system and will be treated as a script. (4) "c:\Program Files\php-4.3.3-Win32\php.exe" (Apache will switch forward-slashes to back-slashes) will get executed. php.exe must then examine the original HTTP request (available via environment variables as per CGI spec) to see that it is "myPHP/foo.php" it's supposed to execute.
