Failed to execute any PHP scripts

[Anon]

I installed Apache, PHP 4 and mySQL on my Windows 98 Laptop machine.

Apache starts successfully.
PHP works only for phpinfo() script in phpinfo.php. I do get the PHP information displayed on the browser (IE5).

But, when i try to run any other PHP scripts, even a simple hello.php
(<? echo "hello" ; ?>)
The browser reports an Internal Server Error and the Apache error log shows this :

"Wed Nov 29 11:27:24 2000] [error] [client 127.0.0.1] Premature end of script headers: c:/phpwin/php.exe "

Any idea why Apache cannot parse or run any PHP scripts except phpinfo() ?

I thought the moment phpinfo() is successfully running, Apache is ready to run any PHP scripts on this installation.
But it failed.

Please help me getting my PHP installation running on my Win 98 laptop machine.

Thanks.

Seems strange... Did you try to parse your script manually by typing in a console :

php.exe hello.php

It would help to know if the problem comes from Apache or from PHP.

Olivier,

Thanks for the help.

I managed to get PHP working on my laptop machine by just removing php.ini from PHP base directory and windows directory.
It worked then.

Later on i re-inserted back PHP in Windows folder and it again worked.
i don't know what casued the premature end of script headers error, but by trial and error method PHP came alive.

Thanks anyway.
Bijal.
