Embedded PHP scripts not getting parsed

cab0701

Hello, here is a description of the system and configuration:
OS: Fedora Core 3
Web-server: Apache2
PHP version: 5
relevant section of httpd.conf:
AddType application/x-httpd-php .html .htm .php

Code causing the problem:
<html>
<head>
<title>Test Page</title>
</head>
<body>
Before the script
<php?
echo "<br> inside the script";
?>
<br>After the script
</body>
</html>

The problem is that the php never gets processed. What is displayed is as follows:
Before the script
After the script
when I view the source from the browser it still has the php code in it.
Also, files with the extension .php work fine so long as there isn't any html befor the php. thanks for reading,
Chris

have you restarted the server since adding the .html extension to this line?

AddType application/x-httpd-php .html .htm .php

Yes, forgot to mention that. What i can't figgure out is why it will only parse just straight php files and not the embedded ones.

thorpe

maybe because this;

<php? 
echo "<br> inside the script"; 
?>

should be;

<?php 
echo "<br> inside the script"; 
?>

DOUGH! Thank you very much. I spent way too much time trying to figgure that out last night. Even just now it took me about 5 minutes to notice the difference between the two. Works fine now. Thanks again,
Chris

hehe.... yeah, i didnt notice it the first time either. sometimes the smallest things can keep you stuck for hours.

can you mark the thread resolved so as to not waste any more time.
