PHP configuration

[member11]

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

i have a few questions about PHP configuration. Hopefully, you will answer them all for me.

1- I configured apache 2 to work with php and mysql. There is no problem. When i type 127.0.0.1\phpinfo.php in IE, everything works.

what do i need to do to make it work if i type 127.0.0.1\phpinfo in IE's address (this time is no .php extension).?

2- let's say i write a php script and save it in desktop> when i click on it, i want IE to open it and execute it without going to command line and type php example.php.

thank you

1. add this to httpd.conf

<Files ~ "^[^\.]+$">

       ForceType application/x-httpd-php

</Files>

or

Edit httpd.conf to reflect "AddType application/x-httpd-php"

Edit httpd.conf to reflect "ServerSignature Off"

Edit php.ini file to reflect "expose_php = off"

2. press [shift] and right click to any of the php files, choose [open with] and then select IE.

or

• open a folder
  
• go to tools
  
• go to folder options
  
• go to file types
  
• type PHP in there
  
• click on advanced
  
• click on new
  
• type the action name like "open in IE"
  
• beneath that click on browse and browse to IE
  
• and click ok
  
• after that u can set it to default if u want it to be the default action..

Edit php.ini file to reflect "expose_php = off"

your solution didn't work

how about the other one?

a) A quick fix would be to rename './data/index.php' into './data' and

then use a ForceType directype to effectively call

http://myserver.com/data

Hint:

<Location "/data">

ForceType application/x-httpd-php

</Location>

B) Alternatively you may also try SetHandler or AddHandler (this depends on your setup) and use a PHP-driven front controller.

Hint:

Alias /php-bin /usr/local/www/.../php-bin

<Location /php-bin>

AllowOverride None

Options Includes

</Location>

w/

<Location "/data">

Action php-script /php-bin/handler.php

SetHandler php-script

DirectoryIndex ./test.foo

</Location>

or

<Location "/data">

Action php-script /php-bin/handler.php

AddHandler php-script .foo

DirectoryIndex ./test.foo

</Location>

Have a look at:

Yep, that should work.
