Apache & PHP Upload form problem

[melon]

Right, I've been using a PHP upload form running off Apache on my PC. It works fine, just that I'd like to improve it making the page display the contents of the directory (like standard apache page with no index or head page).

I thought I could just take the PHP script I have and rename it header.php, leaving an open table at the end of the page so as it can display the contents.

But I've run into the problem of that header.php doesn't do anything. It's neither displayed in the directory nor does the code it contain effect the page.

I have changed in the httpd.conf file the line:

HeaderName HEADER.html
to
HeaderName HEADER.php

but still the same effect occurs.

Anyone know of how I can do what I want?

The upload form I have was downloaded here

Thanks for any help, been searching on Google for an answer for about 3 hours :/

Edit:- I'm running Apache 2.0.44 and PHP 4.3.0 on WinXP Pro

First thought: of course you did restart Apache after making these changes, right? 🙂

Personally, I never mess around with httpd settings; why don't you just either include() the header, or set auto_prepend in php.ini instead of trying to make Apache dance with you? 🙂

Funnily enough, I was actually trying to do both of your suggestions beforehand.

But the include() is a php function so still needs for the header.php file to be "seen" in apache which magically it isn't. Also the auto_prepend or auto_append, I didn't actually know where to add it. Thought that was supposed to go in the httpd file :o

The closest thing I've found is this which doesn't really help as this person has basically asking the same thing I am, albeit they've had a working version.

Maybe I should post this in general discussion, dunno if it'll generate more response 🙂
