enabling PHP in Apache conf

[durden]

I installed Apache and PHP on my computer and everything was installed correctly. When I run a PHP page, it just shows the code. I am missing the code for the Apache configuration file to enable the PHP interpretation of the code. Can anyone help me out?? Many thanks...

ok the line I think your referring to is
AddType application/x-httpd-php .phpd

also your need to make sure you compile you apache with php support. Check out the documentaion at php.net

that did not work ... 🙁

from my earlier installation (i just reinstalled windows), there were about 10 or so lines in httpd.conf that actually enabled the php interpretation

Well unless you're scripts have the extension "phpd" you will want this line instead:

AddType application/x-httpd-php .php

Probably just a typo. If you want syntax highlighting for .phps file, use this:

AddType application/x-httpd-php-source .phps

That last one is from memory so I'm not sure if it'll work.
