I have slackware 8.1 and the php package is installed. I uploaded some php files its for a webmail program. When you go the php it just shows the source.. Any reason why?
download the upgrade, for instance, all of these would be a good start:
apache-1.3.26-i386-2.tgz mod_ssl-2.8.10_1.3.26-i386-1.tgz openssl-solibs-0.9.6e-i386-1.tgz
glibc-2.2.5-i386-3.tgz
openssh-3.4p1-i386-2.tgz
php-4.2.2-i386-1.tgz
glibc-solibs-2.2.5-i386-2.tgz
openssl-0.9.6e-i386-1.tgz
From the Slackware 8.1 patches directory on you favorite up to date ftp mirror, and then drop the machine to runlevel 1 with:
init 1
then
installpkg glibc-2.2.5-i386-3.tgz
and so on, it'll take about half an hour to do them all, but Patrick released right before the apache AND ssh debacles, so nothing like keeping current.
