phpinfo.php only returns actual text

[code420]

i am trying to install PHP on a sparc-solaris2.7 machine. i followed the intructions in the INSTALL file, and created phpinfo.php which has <? phpinfo() ?> as the body of the file. when i try to load the page my browser just returns the text:
<? phpinfo() ?>
i think i am close, but i don't know where to look to solve this.
thanks

yeah, i get the exact same thing, except I'm running mine on Redhat 7. And I can't find the mod_php.so file on my comp either.

You need to set your webserver to parse PHP files with the PHP module

thanks mike,
but i am pretty sure that is what i have done. this is what my httpd.conf file has in it:

LoadModule php4_module libexec/libphp4.so

AddModule mod_php4.c

AddType allows you to tweak mime.types without actually editing it, or to

make certain files to be certain types.

#

For example, the PHP 3.x module (not part of the Apache distribution - see

http://www.php.net) will typically use:

#
#AddType application/x-httpd-php3 .php3
#AddType application/x-httpd-php3-source .phps
#

And for PHP 4.x, use:

#
AddType application/x-httpd-php .php
AddType application/x-httpd-php-source .phps

is there anything i am missing??
is that what you mean by "set your webserver to parse PHP files with the PHP module" ?

thanks for the reply.
