Code:

$ php --version

or

Code:

Hi John,

This should do the trick:

Code:

php index.php

Best of luck!

Hi John,

Things seem to be working (so far), now put in the "phpinfo();" on the line immediatly after the command the prints "php is working". Show me your code, as well (after you add the phpinfo command). Thanks,

-David

I found the problem now i just need to find out how to fix it
i had installed mod_gzip into my apache server for compression but it will not play nice with php......if anyone has any ideas of why that is please let me know. for now im going to keep it turned off and look around. I hope i can help all of you in return for this long problem. It seems to be a common one with out much documentation

Have you reported this as a bug to the PHP5 development team? If its a genuine incompatibility problem, they would probably like to know:
