All PHP Not Getting Parsed

[webtek]

When I run the simple newbie script like

<? echo phpinfo(); ?>

everything works great but when I run some scripts from the web like a mail form script it won't work. It just displays the php and html code in the browser. What's wrong with my local setup? I have Apache, MySQL and PHP installed. Hmmm, it just occured to me that the lack of Perl may be the cause...

What are the extensions on the scripts that are failing? If they are .html or something other than .php, chances are that you do not have those extensions set for PHP parsing.

This is an example of how to edit httpd.conf in Apache to make .html files parsed as PHP:

adds HTML for PHP parsing

AddType application/x-httpd-php .html

All that, and more, is already in there.

AddType application/x-tar .tgz
AddType image/x-icon .ico
ScriptAlias /php/ "c:/php/"
AddType application/x-httpd-php .php
AddType application/x-httpd-php .php3
AddType application/x-httpd-php .php4
AddType application/x-httpd-php .htm
AddType application/x-httpd-php .html
AddType application/x-httpd-php .phtml
Action application/x-httpd-php "/php/php.exe"
