I don't think it works.

I installed apache2 and php4 and it all went well.
when i go to the phpinfo page it shows all that stuff, so i assume php is installed correctly.

but if i run a php file, its exactly as it was before i didnt have it installed: nothing happens, the browser just displays the html and leaves all the php stuff blank.

whats going on?

what php file? i mean what kind of code? do a simple example:

<?php
echo 'this is a TEST';
?>

mr_pita

i tried that, and nothing happens. if i look at the source code, i can see it there, just as i typed it into the file.

it was exactly the same back when i didnt have php

if you view the source, you WILL see plain html, because it is a server-side language. The browser sees plain html.

try this-

<html>
<body>

<?php
$txt="This is a test";
echo $txt;
?>

</body>
</html>

If you see only "This is a test", than it is working.

mr_pita

but i dont see that, i see the exact same thing that i put in, with the <?php and ?> tags

the problem is that php isn't working
