Binding The PHP Installation With Apache2  

Apache does not know that PHP is just installed. Therefore Apache needs to be informed about PHP especially where to find it.

This is done via Apache's httpd.conf file. Apache reads this file and understands what modules need to be loaded and where these modules are located.

It is not mandatory to have Apache web server installed in order to test .php scripts.

These scripts can simply be run using the interpreter php.exe. This can be accomplished by appending the .php script file as a command line argument to php.exe interpreter.

There are two ways to configure Apache to use PHP.

One is to configure it to load the PHP interpreter as an Apache module.

The other is to configure it to run the PHP interpreter as a CGI binary.

It is recommended that PHP is loaded as a module in Apache, since it runs more efficiently that way, unless there is a specific reason for running PHP as a CGI binary.

Edit Apache's httpd.conf file. Make sure the PHP mime type is specified and uncommented. The line should look like this: 

AddType application/x-httpd-php .php  

This line means that every file that ends with .php will be processed as a PHP file.
