I am in need desperate help. I am trying to install php on to apache on window 2k, however when I type code in and up load it, it only displays my code in internet explorer. The code that I wrote in it is correct and works at my job.
I went to this website:

(http://www.webmasterstop.com/tutoria...llation2.shtml)

and it told me to write this some code in httpd.conf file, however it does not work could someone please help me with this problem

Presumably, the "code" you had to write in the httpd.conf file is something like:

    LoadModule php4_module modules/libphp4.so

    AddType application/x-httpd-php .php .php4 .php3 .phtml
    # PHP Syntax Coloring (recommended):
    AddType application/x-httpd-php-source phps


after you made the appropriate adjustments to the httpd.conf, did you RESTART apache? (In windows, you probably need to reboot).

Check you error log to see if there are any errors that might be helpful in resolving the issue.

I find the easiest way to test a PHP install is to create a small test


<?
   phpinfo();
?>

and call it phpinfo.php If you can call this and see ALOT of PHP information, your PHP is working.

Hope this helps.

it says that apache cannot load modules/libphp4.so
I tried saying ...libphp5... since that's what I'm using, but it didn't work.

because you are using windows, you may have to point to the file a bit differently. Do a search fot the libphp4.so (or libphp5.so) and then change the line from modules/libphp4.so to whatever the actual path to the file is such as c:\program files\php\modules\libphp4.so (please note that the path I presented is completely ficticious and I do not know where the file is actaully stored).

Also note that if there is a space in the path name then you might need to QUOTE the entire string.
