Hi,

I'm new to php and was wondering whether I could get some help, please.

I bought a book "Programming PHP" by NextHandbooks (it came with a CD).

I have installed the apache server which works fine (i've tested it by going
to http://localhost

I have followed the instructions for installing php which included modifying
lines and copying files etc.

I have come to the last instruction which says add this to httpd.conf file:

# add PHP capabilities
LoadModule php4_module "C:/php/php-4.3.7-Win32/sapi/php4apache2.dll"
AddType application/x-httpd-php.php

I have done this but when I restart the server the following message comes
up

"AddType requires at least two arguments, a mime followed by one or more
extensions"

Does anyone know what I need to do in order to resolve this issue?

Thanks for your time

Tom

think you forgot a space between mime type and extension...

>AddType application/x-httpd-php.php
AddType application/x-httpd-php .php

Thanks very much!

One little space caused so much trouble.

Thanks again
