    Problem with PHP enviromental variables

    I have set up PHP with Apache on windows xp.

    However I notice that the SCRIPT_NAME & SCRIPT_FILENAME enviromental
    variables are incorrectly being set to php.exe

    Is there a way around this?

    Thanks

      Run PHP as an Apache module, not as CGI? You should also end up with better
      performance that way.

      (I've not tested running as CGI to see if this does set those two variables to
      the php.exe executable, so it's just a guess, but it sounds reasonable that it
      would do this when run as CGI)

      Or use $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'] if you want the current script.

          I have tried setting up php as an Apache Modlue. Followed the instructions
          to the letter and it is loading ok.

          However when I try to run a .php file IE wants to download it instead of
          displaying it in the browser.

          What have I done wrong?

              You have to add lines similar to these in your Apache's http.conf:

              LoadModule php4_module h:/php-4.2.1-Win32/sapi/php4apache.dll
              AddModule mod_php4.c
              AddType application/x-httpd-php .php
              AddType application/x-httpd-php-source .phps
