I followed the instructions on linode.com to install the LAMP stack. If I create a simple info .php and run phpinfo(), I get the return. As soon as I wrap it in an HTML page, my PHP will not execute.
I'm guessing you need to configure Apache to recognise PHP.
This reviews what you need to do in your Apache conf file to "turn on" PHP (you have to load the PHP module into Apache, and make sure Apache knows to treat *.php files as PHP):
So, I've added the following line to my httpd.conf
Code:
LoadModule php5_module modules/libphp5.so
I confirmed that is where my PHP module lives.
I guess my question is, if I use PHP in a document, does it have to have the .php extension?
I thought you could have PHP embedded in an HTML document.
Hello killingthemonkey,
Yes, if the file contains php, you should end your file name with .php extension, otherwise you'll see a blank page or your page without the php elements.
