OK I've got Apache up and running also PHP and edited the httpd.conf and

Problem is as soon as I have a single or double quote,all PHP after that
just gets dumped to the browser even though I do of course close the quote.
Anyone have any idea why?
Thanks,Si.

Make a file than only has
<?php phpinfo(); ?>

If that works, dig into the manual and start learning syntax. Also, try
downloading some scripts to view working code.

can you give us at least a "Hello World" example of the problem?

create a file with just:

<?php echo "Hello World "; echo 'Hello World '; ?>

what is the result?

If you view the source, you should get:

Hello World Hello World

Thanks Boss,
Appreciate the 1st comment that I should go through the docs,but y'know
it's a bit dispiriting.Tri ed the Hello World which showed that my first idea
was wrong as the browser output was:
"; echo 'Hello World
'; ? .
Something's gone wrong,but I ain't sure what.Reinstalle d once so I'll
have to see what's what but any advice appreciated.
Si.

OK seems to be a server config problem as I can see the php when I view
source.
Should be fun,my setup lines up with what the PHP docs tell me,so I'll have
to start looking at the Apache docs .. joy!
Thanks for help,Si.

you should be loading mod_php.conf in your httpd.conf and in your mod_php.conf
you should have:

AddType application/x-httpd-php .php .phtml .html .htm
AddType application/x-httpd-php-source .phps ##this is optional

if you are using Apache, your httpd should have the following line:

Include /apache$root/conf/mod_php.conf

in your mod_php.conf file there should be:

AddType application/x-httpd-php .php .phtml .html .htm ##(htm* is optional)
AddType application/x-httpd-php-source .phps ##optional
