problems with php.ini

[Bob Redding]

I am using Apache 1.3, MySql 3.23.28-gamma and php 4.0 with Internet
Explorer 6 (sp2) on Windows XP.

I am using the manual MySql/PHP Database Applications to teach myself php
and mysql. I have installed everything per the book and everything is
working except php. There appears to be a problem with the php.ini file as
Apache doesn't execute a simple php command I placed in test.html:
<? echo "hello" ?>

What am I missing? Do I have to make some kind of declaration in the header
of the html file?

Could someone with a similar setup email me their php.ini file so I can
compare it with mine?

You can probably discard MySQL, Internet Explorer, Windows and php.ini as
problem source. Apache needs to know what documents it should pass to PHP
interpreter. Default installs normally use *.php extension. If you want to
parse files with *.html extension you have to perform some additional
config within Apache. Anyway, I'm pretty sure you actually want to parse
PHP in *.php files only so just rename your test file to "test.php".

In your apache httpd.conf file, make sure you have this line (or similar) to
parse your php code in your .htm* documents. That will resolve your issue.

AddType application/x-httpd-php .phtml .php .php3 .htm .html
