You need the LoadModule line and the AddType application/x-httpd-php .php line. Then you can run a PHP file that would look like this:
<?php
phpinfo();
?>
That would print a lot of info about your PHP build. //Daniel

Hi,
You need the following lines in each of the relevant sections of httpd.conf :
LoadModule php4_module modules/libphp4.so
AddModule mod_php4.c
AddType application/x-httpd-php .php .php4
A test page would be as mentioned by danielhozac but it needs html wrapped around it :
<!- PHPtest.php -->
<html>
<body>
<?php
phpinfo()
?>
</body>
</html>
Incidentally, the 'modules/libphp4.so' shown above on LoadModule would be OK on redhat linux but you may need to change it a bit for your installation. It respresents the relative path to the module based on ServerRoot. Also if its win32, it would be a .dll and not a .so .
Hope this helps

I wish it were that simple in my case.
I've got all the requisite entries in httpd.conf. The "LoadModule" entry points to the right place. However, PHP is still not working.
I have the following file on my server.
When I view the page, the title and first line are visible. The second line is not visible.

What is that file called? What version are you using? Do you get any errors in your error_log? //Daniel
I'm one for diagnosing and fixing a problem. But someone's put together a nice php+mysql+apache package for windows. You can download it here:
Not as good as a real fix, but should be a good start towards a solution ;-)
(and phpinfo() provides it's own HTML, and even a couple HTTP headers) --

OK, this is odd. I restarted Apache and got this response:
I also got this entry in my error_log file:
Code:
Syntax error on line 205 of /usr/local/apache/conf/httpd.conf:
Invalid command 'LoadModule', perhaps mis-spelled or defind by a module not included in the server configuration
/usr/local/apache/bin/apachectl start: httpd could not be startedI also got this entry in my error_log file:
Code:
[Mon Feb 24 11:02:29 2003] [alert] httpd: Could not determine the server's fully qualified domain name, using 127.0.0.1 for ServerName

The [tt]LoadModule[/tt] error sure makes it look like you didn't compile Apache with DSO support. //Daniel
OK, I re-configured and re-compiled everything. I'm no longer getting the "LoadModule" error message, and DSO support seems to be functional...I think.
Still the same problem: I can see the plain HTML portion of hello.php, but not the PHP output.
Code:
$ httpd -l
Compiled-in modules:
http_core.c
mod_so.c
suexec: disabled; invalid wrapper /usr/local/apache/bin/suexecStill the same problem: I can see the plain HTML portion of hello.php, but not the PHP output.

And you have the correct [tt]AddType[/tt] line in your [tt]httpd.conf[/tt]? //Daniel

Wow... I'm sure out of ideas on this one. //Daniel
The problem is solved now. I knew it would be something that would cause me to slap myself in the forehead hard.
I rebooted the machine, then restarted httpd. That's all. I can now see the PHP output. I never knew plain text could be so beautiful.
Pardon me while I go take an aspirin.
