Fedora Core 2 and Apache and php

[marks_linux]

Can anyone give me a step by step on how to get php and apache working together. Testing php from command line works fine, but any php in web pages does not execute.

I think the module? required for apache is missing or not installed (I'm running with default versions of appache php and mysql from the FC2 AMD 64 distro).I say this cos I've looked in /etc/httpd/modules
and there is no mention of php.

Ta In advance
Mark

i personally prefer an installer tools scripts, it's easier for you to compile more modules and etc.

I compiled apache and php and changed the config file..

When I do
http://localhost/test.php?function=test

The webpage
prints
function='';

the test.php has
<?php
echo "function = '$function'<BR>"
?>

Please help, I've been trying about 4 times to get this to install correctly.

In php from version 4.3 (?I think) global variables are turned off by default to enhance security. You can turn them back on or explicitly GET the variable with $_GET

so

$value=$_GET['function'];

before your echo should fix it
