Problem running scripts after php3 installation

[Rickie]

Hello people, I'm new to PHP so go slow lol :-)
Anyway this is my problem. I installed PHP3 for Windows. I move the php3.ini-dist to my C:\Windows re-named it PHP3.ini and put in the correct extension_dir. I then used an example script ( test.php3) to run which was.....
<?phpinfo()?>
which was suppost to get a HTML file with lots of information about my PHP setup. So I went into ms-dos change to the php3 dir and ran the use the command php test.php3. I got an error, so I then tried another script and still got this error. The error I am getting in ms-dos is......
<br>
<b>Fatal error</b>: Unable to open browser.php3 in <b>-</b> on line <b>0</b><br

Just wondered if any of you have an idea what the problem is.
Many thanks
Rickie

if you are running Apache Server, you need to tell the server PHP exist.

Add the following to the top of your httpd.config file of your Apache Server:

ScriptAlias /php4/ "d:/PHP/"
AddType application/x-httpd-php4 .php
AddType application/x-httpd-php4 .php3
Action application/x-httpd-php4 "/php4/php.exe"

Path to your php on your drive
"d:/PHP/"

ScriptAlias /php4/ "d:/PHP/"

Thanks for the feedback but I have no Apache server running or any other services running. Just PHP on it's own, hope that helps.

you need a server to run php pages and server to execute php
