[gee bee]

Hi,

I followed the tutorial on how to get apache 2.2 running with php 5.1 and all is good apart from all of my files that had the .php extention are now apearing as for example

index.ZDE.file

instead of index.php

does anyone know how i can fix this? Thanks in advance

Sure that your windows shows all extension from all files? Normaly Windows don't show it.
ZDE? Did you install Zend Studio?
If you followed the instruction from http://www.apachelounge.com/viewtopic.php?t=570
That should be.

Fix it, if the extension is realy .ZDE.file you can rename it
But I am not sure that .ZDE.file is correct.

I have a similar problem. My Apache/php/MySql is set up properly, but when I try to open a file using IE with localhost, IE doesn't recognize php files. It doesn't list php as an option in the file pulldown menu.

Php files are visible using "all files" but I still can't click to open them.

Anyone recognize this problem? Something set up wrong in Apache?

Thanks in advance!

ldraper, I think you have an other issue then gee bee, maybe I am wrong.

In windows you have first associate the .php extension with a editor or php.exe.

Double click on a php file and check "Select a program from the list" and so on....Just basic windows stuff.

When you associate it with a editor then you see the code and when with php.exe then the script is executed by php.exe.


I have no idea why you want to see your files in that way. Just open it in a editor or open a DOS box to execute the scripts..

I guess I'm explaining it wrong. I can't run my php files without typing the entire path/filename into the address bar. I want to click on the test.php file and have the browser serve up the results. Right now that only works if I type it.

If I type phpinfo() into localhost, it responds fine. If it click on the test.php file (phpinfo) that I made, nothing happens at all. This is true for all .php files.

Slowly I begin to understand, I hope.

You want: Double clicking a .php and the output is showed in your browser ? For example when Double click on phpinfo.php the all the output appears in IE.

Yes! The output does not appear in the browser after double clicking.

Sorry -- I guess the question is too simple or the questioner (that would be me) too dim. :~)
