Hi,

I'm having a problem getting .phtml files to display in a web browser. I
can successfully display a test.php page as per PHP install instructions but
the phtml files show up blank (in firefox or IE).

I have added these entries to my apache httpd.conf:

LoadModule php5_module modules/libphp5.so
AddHandler php5-script .php .phtml
AddType text/html .php .phtml
#AddType application/x-httpd-php .php .php3 .php4 .phtml (I tried with this
uncommented too and without the previous entry)
AddType application/x-httpd-php-source .phps

I have the default "recommended" php.ini installed under both:
/usr/local/apache2/conf
/usr/local/apache2/php
as I wasnt certain where it should go...

My system is: Apache/2.2.6 (Unix) PHP/5.2.5


The phtml files are from an opensource product called CDRTool which other
people
are using successfully so I think the most likely problem I have is I have
something
badly configured on my apache/php side (particularly as this isnt something
Ive
attemtped to configure before).
One thing I noticed regarding all of the CDRTool .phtml files is that they
all have a first line like:

<?

Is that normal? I suppose someone who knows php will know what it means :S


Thanks in advance for any advice,

Andy.

Try:
LoadModule php5_module modules/libphp5.so
AddType application/x-httpd-php .php
AddType application/x-httpd-php .phtml

I suspect that you do not need to use AddHandler.

<? is opens PHP code block. It is normal.
But will PHP process it or not depends on short_open_tag directive
from PHP.ini. it should be On, like:
short_open_tag=On

If short_open_tag=Off, the <?php should be used instead of <?
