PHP
I just guessed and added some PHP modules as I was installing the system.
I didn't bother to keep track of anything.
To my surprise, I uploaded a "Hello World" PHP file called php.php
into a user web and it just worked.
To my surprise, it STILL worked from /home/laurio/public_html
I assume I have some security "issues" on this box but for now, I'm
happy.
Looks like I can just start using PHP without a bunch of screwing around first.
Using http://hotwired.lycos.com/webmonkey/99/21/index2a_page5.html?tw=programming as my tutorial I created phpinfo.php3
<html>
<body>
<?php
phpinfo();
?>
</body>
</html>
The link is only accessible when connected directly to my lan.
http://purdy.bordway.org/~bruceo/phpinfo.php3
worked!
This returns a nice configuration page showing everything I should ever need to
know about PHP on a system... and mysql was listed in the extensions so I'll
move on with the tutorial.
