Help setting up php 5
Posted: Sat Mar 25, 2006 11:08 am
Trying to setup PHP5 on apache 2.05
Had this all working before but reinstalled my OS and now can't get it working right.
It works to a point but doesn't show errors and a few other things don't seem to work, this happened before and i fixed it though can't remember exactly what i did, i seem to remember thinking that apache wasn't linking to the php.ini properly or something.
Using windows 98.
In apache httpd.conf i have added.
and have put php.ini in c:\windows and added
now i'm 99% sure thats exactly what i did first time i set this up and it all worked.
php does work for most things but as i said no errors are displayed if there is a misake in the php it just gives a blank page, or $HTTP_GET_VARS doesnt seem to work, if i did,
then http://localhost/phptest.php?s=test
i just get a blank page whereas
works fine.
Totally stuck!
