Thread: Use of Serial type

Use of Serial type

From
"Warren Massengill"
Date:
RedHat 7.2 RPM with PostgreSQL 7.1.x and PHP 4.0.6

Page 111 of PHP and PostgreSQL, this form displays in Mozilla. The submit
button is expected to run a script called reaction.php but it opens the
script and displays the code. The response is the same with or without
variable input.

I changed the script file to executable:  no effect.

I can run 'reaction.php' from the shell and it works.
What is the problem here?

Thanks,
Warren

Apache is not configured properly to recognize the .php extension. Look at
the installation instructions for the AddType directives you must have.
