<h2 class="title">Apache 1.3.x on Microsoft Windows</h2>
<p class="para">
This section contains notes and hints specific to Apache 1.3.x installs
of PHP on Microsoft Windows systems. There are also
<a href="install.windows.apache2.php" class="link">instructions and notes
for Apache 2</a> on a separate page.

Please read the <a href="install.windows.manual.php" class="link">manual
installation steps</a> first!

<p class="simpara">
There are two ways to set up PHP to work with Apache 1.3.x
on Windows. One is to use the CGI binary (<var class="filename">php.exe</var>
for PHP 4 and <var class="filename">php-cgi.exe</var> for PHP 5),
the other is to use the Apache Module DLL. In either case
you need to edit your <var class="filename">httpd.conf</var> to configure Apache to
work with PHP, and then restart the server.
</p>
<p class="simpara">
It is worth noting here that now the SAPI module has been
made more stable under Windows, we recommend it's use above
the CGI binary, since it is more transparent and secure.
</p>
<p class="simpara">
Although there can be a few variations of configuring PHP
under Apache, these are simple enough to be used by the
newcomer. Please consult the Apache Documentation for further
configuration directives.
</p>
<p class="simpara">
After changing the configuration file, remember to restart the server, for
example, <strong class="command">NET STOP APACHE</strong> followed by
<strong class="command">NET START APACHE</strong>, if you run Apache as a Windows
Service, or use your regular shortcuts.
</p>
<blockquote><p><b class="note">Note</b>: <span class="simpara">Remember that when adding
path values in the Apache configuration files on Windows, all backslashes
such as <var class="filename">c:\directory\file.ext</var> must be converted to
forward slashes: <var class="filename">c:/directory/file.ext</var>. A trailing
slash may also be necessary for directories.</span></p></blockquote>

<h3 class="title">Installing as an Apache module</h3>

You should add the following lines to your Apache <var class="filename">httpd.conf</var> file:
</p>
<p class="para">
</p><div class="example">
<p><b>Example #1 PHP as an Apache 1.3.x module</b></p>

<div class="example-contents programlisting">
<div class="apache-confcode"><pre class="apache-confcode"># Add to the end of the LoadModule section
# Don't forget to copy this file from the sapi directory!

<h3 class="title">Installing as a CGI binary</h3>
<p class="para">
If you unzipped the PHP package to <var class="filename">C:\php\</var> as described
in the <a href="install.windows.manual.php" class="link">Manual
Installation Steps</a> section, you need to insert
these lines to your Apache configuration file to set
up the CGI binary:
</p><div class="example">
<p><b>Example #2 PHP and Apache 1.3.x as CGI</b></p>
<div class="example-contents programlisting">
<div class="apache-confcode"><pre class="apache-confcode">ScriptAlias /php/ "c:/php/"
AddType application/x-httpd-php .php
# For PHP 4
Action application/x-httpd-php "/php/php.exe"
# For PHP 5
Action application/x-httpd-php "/php/php-cgi.exe"
# specify the directory where php.ini is
SetEnv PHPRC C:/php</pre>
</div>
</div>
</div><p>
Note that the second line in the list above can be found
in the actual versions of <var class="filename">httpd.conf</var>, but it is commented out. Remember
also to substitute the <var class="filename">c:/php/</var> for your actual path to
PHP.

<div class="warning"><b class="warning">Warning</b><p class="para">A server deployed in CGI mode is open
to several possible vulnerabilities. Please read our
<a href="security.cgi-bin.php" class="link">CGI security section</a> to learn how to
defend yourself from such attacks.</p></div>
<p class="simpara">
If you would like to present PHP source files syntax highlighted, there
is no such convenient option as with the module version of PHP.
If you chose to configure Apache to use PHP as a CGI binary, you
will need to use the <a href="function.highlight-file.php" class="function">highlight_file()</a> function. To
do this simply create a PHP script file and add this code:
<i><?php highlight_file('some_php_script.php'); ?></i>.
</p>
</div>
</div><?php manual_footer(); ?>
