I am having trouble getting my PHP to work for my Apache server. I am running Oracle Linux, and used yum install php + yum install httpd to get my PHP and Apache. I have scoured the internet and done a couple of things:
Firstly, I have gone into my httpd.conf file and added LoadModule php5_module modules/libphp5.so. I have chosen to use the one in my php.conf file, which is the exact same one. Furthermore, I have done AddType application/x-http-php .php, so now my .php files are loading fine.
Secondly, I have tried to run my Apache server, and it works fine. It displays my index.html file, which I set with DirectoryIndex. However, when I tried to put php code into it, it got automatically commented out, which I assume is because I haven't set it to properly execute on the server side.
Now, with all that said, I am wondering what else I may be missing. I have two set-ups, one where I have a .php file, and one where the php is inline with the html.
index.html
<!DOCTYPE html>
<body>
<?php echo "Hello everybody."; ?>
</body>
</html>
index.php
<?php phpinfo(); ?>
The index.php file loads fine, but the index.html doesn't run the php code. How do I get the inlined version of php to work?
Note: I have set-up my Mac OS to work fine with .php files, but it is also having trouble with inline php within an Html file. What am I missing?
SOLUTION: Html files themselves cannot include php. Instead, the file must be a .php extension, and within a .php file, you can have text, html, and JavaScript.
