Re: php help

hello, I am very new to php but i already had some Perl/CGI and Tcl experience. I saw the "#!" only on linux plattforms before. It introduces a line which lets the webserver know which interpreter has to be used for the file at hand. I could imagine, that your apache is not correctly configured. Did you add some lines like # PHP4 AddType application/x-httpd-php .php AddType application/x-httpd-php-source .phps #PHP3 AddType application/x-httpd-php3 .php3 AddType application/x-httpd-php3 .phtml AddType application/x-httpd-php3-source .phps # (other stuff) #PHP4 Action application/x-httpd-php "/cgi-bin/php.exe" #PHP3 Action application/x-httpd-php3 "/cgi-bin/php.exe" to the httpd.conf file in ..\Apache2\conf ? Furthermore the directory C:/php-4.3.9-Win32/info.php looks wrong. Is that the "DocumentRoot" of your apache? it should better look like C:\Apache2\htdocs. Wich Windows do you use? I am running php-4.3.9 on a Windows 98 plattform. I set it up by using an elderly but helpfull installation documentation. The problem for you could be that it is written in german but i will give it to you anyway: http://www.dynamic-webpages.de/50.tutorials.php?dwp_tutorialID=9 hope this could help you a little.
