.PHP code does not parse php5 Apache2 on windows

[Massa Batheli]

Can anyone tell me why .php code is not parsed
#For PHP 5:
short_open_tag = Off
httpd.conf
# Add to the end of the LoadModule section
LoadModule php5_module "C:/PHP/php5apache2.dll"
AddType application/x-httpd-php .php
#Add to the end of the AddModule section
#AddModule mod_php5.c

It should be. Are your files named xxx.php?

Thanks for your response Jerry .It should be but actually it is not .
My files do end with a php

Hi <?php echo $_POST['name']; ?>.
You are <?php echo $_POST['age']; ?> years old.

Do you have a page where we can look at it to see what's happening? It works
just fine here.

after setting this, did you stop/restart the web server? Your biggest
problem is that you are using windows as a server....
bbblllleeeeccccchhh!

create a page with

--- cut here ---
<?php phpinfo(); ?>
--- cut here ---
what do you get?

BS. I've been using Apache with PHP and MySQL on Windows XP for years
and it works like a charm. Never had any problems, except for the well
known problem that Apache 2 has with XP without SP1 or greater.

Bye!

Phpinfo() shows up just fine with no errors .Apache test page shows up
just fine too.
When the .php files are replaced with .html then everything shows up
fine but for the values
in a form
I am sorry there is no test page yet to show, rebooted the laptop not
only restarted the services
Thanks a lot for your responses and hope one of you comes up with what
is needed

Don't you want to uncomment that last line? Should be:

AddModule mod_php5.c

In order to have a .HTML "execute" php commands, you must have html as
an addtype of AddType application/x-httpd-php - and you can only have
one AddType for each file extension.

PHP is working (if phpinf() works - it is configured correctly)

use a somewhat non-standard file extension -- something like:

AddType application/x-httpd-php .php .phtml

and rename your file to *.phtml

as for the other comments concerning windows: .. and your site gets how
many hits a day?

[Massa Batheli]

when addmodule is uncommented apache cannot be restarted
Would like to have .php working for now and worry about .phtml later
thanks so much for the responses
Thanks

okay... from a previous post you said that the phpinfo(); page was
working.. I assumed you had named it xxx.php and it displayed correctly
- is that not the case?

there should be an:

AddType application/x-httpd-php .php .phtml
(or similar line in either a mod_php.conf file or in the httpd.conf
file. without this directive, .php files cannot be "parsed".

Q: take a closer look at:

LoadModule php5_module "C:/PHP/php5apache2.dll"

shouldn't that be:
LoadModule php5_module "C:\PHP\php5apache2.dll"
maybe not - for real work, I don't do windows :)

I appreciate your time but will like to share this with you. The
phpinfo.php page works wether front or back slashes are applied but
code is not still parsed.
What could be messed up here ...............

Some questions:
1. what is in your apache2/logs/errors.log file? Anything relevant?
2. have you tried a really simple php file?
For example:
<?php
echo "<h1>Hi there</h1>";
?>

3. where are the pages that are not being served? In the same place as
the phpinfo?

[Massa Batheli]

Both pages are on the desktop
..The html page and the .php form processing page

The apache logs seem fine at least no errors that seem to ring a bell .
The simple PHP file you showed me is opened as a text file .
It is only opened with a browser if encapsulated in html.Please let me
know if that
is any hint to the problem

You said these are on your "desktop"???? Php will not "execute" from
your desktop. The files should be located in your apache directory
under htdocs and should be accessed via a web browser using your PC in
the address bar.

in IE: http://192.168.1.x/test.php

if you want to use command-line you must go to a cmd window and at the
prompt execute:
C:\where\ever\your\php.exe test.php

there is probably some way to make a .php file associated with your php
executable.

Ah, now the problem.

To get it to execute the PHP code, you MUST go through your web server - that
is, open a browser and access it with something like http://localhost/mypage.php.

Doing a File->Open in the browser or using any other tool to open it will not
execute the PHP code.
