[LUNI] Epic LAMP Fail

[Clyde Forrester]

Yes. You could have a file called hello.php:

<?php
  print "Hello";
?>

Then you type php hello.php

Also you can do a which php and put that in the "shebang" line at the 
top of the php file.

#!/usr/bin/php

Then of course it'll fold it's arms and refuse to cooperate.
So you have to do a chmod +x hello.php
And of course, if it gets really clueless, you have to type
./hello.php
for it to catch on to the idea that it's right here in the current 
directory.

I created a php script with the mysql_connect(...) in it,
and it gave me a blank stare and no errors.

So, I put a print command after the connect, and it printed the text.

So, I figure that php is working fine with mysql from the command line, 
but for some reason not with apache2 html.

I plan to add to the command line script to see if I can read from the 
table and print what I get from mysql to the screen.

Then I'll post what happened.
