php will NOT work correctly :(

I have been trying to get php to work with apache 2 for quite some time. I've installed from source and used the default install on Fedora as well. I've scoured php.net and read all I could find in the docs.

I get a blank screen when I try to access a .php file. Below is part of my apache config file showing the only places relavent to php (to my knowlege)

Hopefully, someone can help :D

Add this to the end of your LoadModules depending on Your php version.
LoadModule php4_module libexec/libphp4.so
or
LoadModule php5_module libexec/libphp5.so

Then restart apache and you should then be working.

<html>
<head><title>Show PHP Information</title></head>
<body>
<?phpinfo()?>
</body>
</html>

this small script should show you all the php information. Hope this helps.

That's the very first line of my LoadModules section. Does it need to be last?

Well, I figured out what it was...
I was using the wrong syntax in my php script. I had a space between the '?' and 'php' when there isn't supposed to be. :(

Dang, all that time over one silly character :(:( lol

That will do it.

That will certainly do it. I had the same frustration when I was first using php on my windows machine. I thought that IIS was not setup correctly and all that it was was a simple punctuation.

I just noticed that this thread was done twice. I don't understand why LOL

I noticed that too but I thought it was an accident so I thought Someone would catch it.

i did this last week as well, you should turn on show all errors and warning while you are developing scripts.

this can be done by editing the /etc/php.ini file and the restarting apache
on mine its about line 285 set both of these

error_reporting = E_ALL
display_errors = On
