Re: [LUG] PHP Scripts Continued



Hi Neil

I did what you suggested (I copied test.php3 to /var/www/html) and it
found the file but wouldn't read it. I tried typing RPM -e PHP in a
console and it came back with the message failed dependencies. Does this
mean PHP is not properly installed or have I asked it the wrong
question?

Thanks

Rich
