Extremely new to php - need help!

tutumom · #1 14-Apr-2005, 18:01

Hi, Although I've done lots of programming in other languages (java, jsp, javascript, c, c++,) I've never worked with php and need to get into it quickly. I want to know - how can I view the php files (not the code part) but what it would look like in a browser? I've got apache and php set up so that I can view some files, but if I go to a particular directory, it tells me I don't have permission to view that file - which file (e.g php.ini etc) and what directives do I need to change to allow viewing of this file?
Thanks!

edit the httpd.conf file.
# is comment in the conf file - remove the comment - depending on the version you have.

Code:

# For PHP 4
# LoadModule php4_module "C:/php/sapi/php4apache2.dll"
# For PHP 5
# LoadModule php5_module "c:/php5/php5apache2.dll"

Search for DirectoryIndex and add index.php

Code:

 DirectoryIndex index.php index.html index.htm

Add

Code:

AddType application/x-httpd-php .php
