How can I tell if PHP is loaded into Apache or not? When I take a look at httpd.conf I can see a few lines for php3 but when I restart apachectl all I see mention of is perl.
I created a small page from the book "Core PHP Programming" and the HTML portion of the examples displays just fine but the php code will not, even if the file is named with the following extensions : .html .php .php3 .php4.
I just finished my first programming class at the ripe old age of 49 and now want to learn php coding but I need a little feedback about how I am doing so far. :-)
I have Apache 1.3.12 presently as that is what fired up when I loaded Mandrake 7.2. Although I intend to upgrade later on, for now that should be good enough to experiment with.
If I should prove not to have PHP on my machine and working with Apache, what is the path of least resistance to get PHP working with Apache locally?
I am not above "scorched earth" ... but would rather uncomment a line or something than do a wholesale revamping of my box. Eventually I want to use Apache / PHP / Postgresql to deliver web content including calendars and searchable datafiles, sell some specialized books and present some specialized advertising.
But today, I want to print "Hello World".
