Hello all, I have Apache, MySQL and PHP running and I tired to open the PHP test page using a web browser but it did not show anything but a blank page. How do you correctly configure PHP in SuSE 8.1? And also how do you test to see it is running correctly. According to the manual it says to use browser and type http://localhost/test.php Which directory do you put the PHP file? Thanks, Scott

usr/local/httpd/htdocs Alternatively, put it in /home/xyz/public_html and point the browser to http://localhost/~xyz/test.php - that way you shouldn't need to think so much about file permissions. JDL

/srv/www/htdocs in 8.1

My PHP works and i know how to read the httpd.conf file but when i tried to pass a parameter like this http://localhost/test.php?testvar=123 and printed it in php like this : <html> <body> <? printf("Test var equals : ".$testvar); ?> </body> </html> I didn't see any value of testvar, it just is not set while normally testvar is just set !. Any ideas how to debug this ?? Grtz Dries -- <End of message>

Does it work if you try this? <html> <body> <? printf("Test var equals : ".$HTTP_GET_VARS{'testvar'}); ?> </body> </html> Also, take a look in php.ini (usually in /etc) for : register_globals = On HTH sjb

Just to clarify that a bit... Old versions of PHP passed the GET variables (and POST etc) into a global namespace and could be accessed as "echo $testvar". Recent versions of PHP do not register these variables in the global namespace. Although you can change that in the php.ini file. Its best to always have register_globals set to Off. Then access your variables either as above, or as $_GET['testvar']. FYI jalal -- GPG fingerprint = 3D45 5509 D380 26A4 523E A9D8 A66A 5F38 CA43 BB0E

I can only test this this evening at home (since i run 8.0 here at my work), but i am almost sure that this will be the cure for my problem !! Grt Dries -- <End of message>
Hi, Thanks everyone for their help especially John Lamb. Now it works properly with the exception that I am unable to update my test database using the browser. Do you have to set a permission level for the database so others can add to the database? I have granted usage for the user but when I press submit my data goes into the twilight zone and not in my database. Thanks in advance for the help..

Be fair. It's not obvious that apache is configured by a file called httpd.conf and less obvious still that that file is located in /etc/httpd, at least in some versions of SuSE, ;-)

Check if youve installed Apache, mod_php4 and mysql using rpm -q. After that if all is installed start apache and mysql. Then after that create a test.php file which contains these lines: <? phpinfo(); ?> Save that file and save in your apache's htdocs' directory, commonly on /usr/local/httpd/htdocs and point your browser to http://localhost/test.php If all goes well, then youll see all your php version info.
