Problem with PHP enviromental variables

[Spidah]

I have set up PHP with Apache on windows xp.

However I notice that the SCRIPT_NAME & SCRIPT_FILENAME enviromental
variables are incorrectly being set to php.exe

Is there a way around this?

Thanks

Run PHP as an Apache module, not as CGI? You should also end up with better
performance that way.

(I've not tested running as CGI to see if this does set those two variables to
the php.exe executable, so it's just a guess, but it sounds reasonable that it
would do this when run as CGI)

Or use $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'] if you want the current script.

I have tried setting up php as an Apache Modlue. Followed the instructions
to the letter and it is loading ok.

However when I try to run a .php file IE wants to download it instead of
displaying it in the browser.

What have I done wrong?

You have to add lines similar to these in your Apache's http.conf:

LoadModule php4_module h:/php-4.2.1-Win32/sapi/php4apache.dll
AddModule mod_php4.c
AddType application/x-httpd-php .php
AddType application/x-httpd-php-source .phps
