php page cannot be viewed

infinite_root

Hi PHP gurus,

I made a big mistake. I installed apache and php for windows and was successful. I can view my php files but not so long....

When I opened my php file on my windows explorer I was asked to open it using programs listed. I choose mozilla to open it and thats it. My mistake had finally come to pass.

Instead of opening my php file in my browser using http://localhost/sample.php

I used programs to open it. Now, whenver i open a php file the codes are being displayed in the browser instead of running it.

How can I rectify my mistake?

I already have this entry on my httpd.conf

AddType application/x-httpd-php .php
AddType application/x-httpd-php .php3
AddType application/x-httpd-php .php4
AddType application/x-httpd-php .shtml
AddType application/x-httpd-php-source .phps

DirectoryIndex index.html index.php index.php4 index.htm default.php index.php3 index.html.var index.shtml

I also, had the following entrered in the http configs.
LoadModule php4_module php4apache2.dll

Pls enlighten me

You also need one of this lines:

If you use sapi (The packed from php.net where there NOT where an installer with!)
LoadModule "php4_module" "c:/program files/apache/php/sapi/php4apache.dll"

If you are using the tradisional way (with security risk see php.net)
ScriptAlias "/php/" "c:/program files/apache/php/"

You need to give the tow strings the right path!

No Im not using sapi.

I know this is a little too late, Iam using php4 and apache2.4.29 running in my windows 2000 server.

I added the following entries on my httpd.conf

ScriptAlias /php/ "C:/php4/"
Action application/x-httpd-php "c:/php4/php.exe"

LoadModule "php4_module" "C:/Program Files/Apache Group/Apache2/php4apache2.dll"
AddModule mod_php4.c

but still no joy 😕
