Please don't propagate that myth.  It's an ugly hack
that may have been required in the very early days,
but got fixed in 1996.  Except for zombies that refuse
to update.

If we really want that zombie to go away, we'll need to do some more  

evangelizing.  All of Ubuntu 6.06, Centos38 and Apple's Mac OS X have  

the AddType hack in the configuration of their packaged PHP.   

Incidentally, our own

perl-framework test suite also uses AddType in t/conf/extra.conf.in.

I think we owe it to Bashiro and Vince to divulge what the right  

incantation is:

AddHandler php5-script php

...if I am not mistaken.

Finally, Vince, for us to get an idea of what your problem is, you  

need to tell us what goes wrong on your server.  Look in Apache's  

error.log and, if that file is not generated, in the Event Viewer on  

your Windows system and tell us what they say regarding your latest  

attempt to start the server.

Thank you,

S.
