I've just installed Slackware 10. I know that Apache, Samba, and Mysql are installed by default, but what about PHP? I have a simple .php file that I created to test to see if it works but the browser returns a blank page. How can I check and see if PHP is installed?

Hi delamatrix, welcome to lq. Start pkgtool, choose the remove packages option, once the list is generated, have a look at it. If the package isn't there then you'll need to install it, if it is there tab over to the cancel option without removing anything. Here is some info on your package management system.

Your welcome. Now that you're sure you've got php installed, I'd suggest starting a new thread in the slack forum or networking forum with the the title
"PHP with Apache", post the relevant info from this thread in the new thread.
My reasoning is that this thread is likely to be considered solved by most viewers, and the new thread with the current problem is likely to attract new viewers with better answers. Another factor is that this is not a very active forum within lq, so you're likely to get responses sooner with the new thread. Hope that helps.
good luck.
