Xampp is telling me that apache and php are up and running properly, but viewing html pages with <?php ?> tags in the apache doc root folder is not doing anything with the php code, i can see the php code when viewing source via firefox. I've experimented with every piece of advice in configuring apache and php i could possibly find on forms and the official docs, and now im so exasperated by seeing nothing but white space, im at my end in desperation to get this working. What i've added or altered to configure the apache http.conf files:
LoadFile "c:/xampp/php/php5ts.dll"
LoadModule php5_module "c:/xampp/apache/modules/php5apache2_2.dll"
AddHandler application/x-httpd-php .php
AddHandler application/x-httpd-php-source .phps
AddType application/x-httpd-php .php
AddType text/html .php .phps
DocumentRoot "C:/xampp/htdocs"
<IfModule dir_module>
DirectoryIndex index.php index.pl index.cgi index.asp index.shtml index.html index.htm default.php default.pl default.cgi default.asp default.shtml default.html default.htm home.php home.pl home.cgi home.asp home.shtml home.html home.htm
</IfModule>And to the php.ini file I have:
error_reporting = E_ALL & E_NOTICE & E_DEPRECATED & E_STRICT
display_errors = On
display_startup_errors = On
default_mimetype = "text/html"
extension_dir = "C:\xampp\php\ext"
doc_root = "C:\xampp\htdocs"
extension=php_mysql_libmysql.dllall other flavors of sql extensions are commented out
i have php.ini in the Windows/SYSTEM32 folder, i have c:/xampp/php in path and class path variables
so all in all, the apache server is processing my http://localhost/ requests, but nothing is being done with the php. ive reseted and reinstalled and now just cant for the life of me get this to work. my technical savvy being just slightly above a wild primate, please spell out fully and unambiguously any resolutions that you might think of.
