php problem

acrors · #1 21st September 2004, 10:54 AM

I've have problem with fedora 2. It doesn't recognise php commands. After starting httpd, i run test.html file:

<html><head><title>My First PHP Script</title></head>
<body>
<h4>Example One</h4>
<p><?php echo "Hello World"; ?></p>
</body>
</html>

and test.php file:

<?php print("Hello World"); ?>

In both cases i don't get "Hello World" text.

Pls. show me how to fix this problem (let php running)

Thank you

Does

rpm -qa php

return anything? If not;

up2date php

(P.S. by default your first example will not work anyways, use .php extensions for php embedded pages)

How are you trying to view these "hello world" scripts Jeru?

From what you have said, you need to install php.

best way to do that is to 'yum install php apache-php' there may be some optional extras/deps like php-mysql you would like to install as well.

After that, create a file:

in your /var/www/html/phptest.php

<?
phpinfo();
?>

and then in your browser have a look at it. Should have all the php info that apache is capable of using.
