I too purchased the PHP, MySQL, Apache2 training book. I installed PHP, MySQL, Apache2 on my OSX box running 10.3.9. Used the pkg installers and all went well, it seems. I created the test script phpinfo to see if PHP was installed correctly. When I look at it in the browser it returns my script only not the PHP Info. The script is run on :
http://127.0.0.1/phptest.php

and it returns this to the browser, which is identical to the script.

<?php phpinfo(); ?>



I reinstalled everything and still no information is displayed.
I am using OSX 10.3.9, Apache 2.0.52, PHP 5.0.4

Thanks for your assistance.

OMG I actually was able to find the required information to fix this. I am passing along so if anyone else encounters this.

The solution came from searching archives, one particularly koflerappache. Evidentally what the pkg installers does not do is set the httpd configuration for PHP automatically. I made the following changes to my httpd.conf file (Note use the path to your modules) and restarted Apache2 and the script worked correctly to show me my PHPINFO.

change Apache's httpd.conf to make it use PHP

    adds the following line to /usr/local/apache2/conf/httpd.conf:

     LoadModule php5_module modules/libphp5.so

   however, you have to add another line:

     AddType application/x-httpd-php .php

To test it:

   restart Apache

     /usr/local/apache2/bin/apachectl start
     /usr/local/apache2/bin/apachectl stop

   create the file
     /usr/local/apache2/htdocs/test.php
   with this content
     <?php phpinfo(); ?>

   load the page with your web browser
     http://localhost/test.php
