Rob:
Check out www.devshed.com/Server_side/PHP, it is very good source of
information for setting up PHP and Apache. We setup Apache, PHP3 and
MySQL here at work, and it was a bit of challenge to get it all working. I
needed all of these components for our internal web based email using IMP.
We didn't do alot of PHP programing, but during the setup I ran some
test PHP scripts to get things up and running. The scripts I used were
embedded in html (or php3) code like the following:
<HTML>
<HEAD>
<TITLE>Our first PHP3.0 script</TITLE>
</HEAD>
<BODY>
<CENTER>Our first PHP3.0 script</CENTER>
<?
/* the above "<?" signals that the PHP script has begun */
$today = date("Y-m-d");
PRINT "<CENTER>Today is: $today.</CENTER>";
# the following "?>" closes the script
?>
</BODY>
</HTML>
There is also a nifty php command that you can include into the test
program that will show how Apache is confiugred:
<?phpinfo()?>
(Pulled this out of the INSTALL.REDHAT file under PHP)
Also check out www.php.net/FAQ.php3
Hope this helps,
