tlug: PHP (was: SQL on the TLUG server)

Hi all,

I sent this last night, but for obvious (now) reasons it didn't
get through...

OK, I grabbed php-3.0.tar.gz and will start going through the
docs. It looks like I'll have to use PHP as a module to Apache;
from the tutorial:

     Running PHP as a CGI binary could create a serious security
     problem. Apache allows files -- named .htaccess by
     default -- to limit access to Web pages to specific
     IP addresses or to users who supply a valid
     username-password combination. PHP does not honor .htaccess
     files,

So much for the tpj-jp .htaccess restictions.

My Apache at home will have to be rebuilt if I'm going to do any
off-line testing:
  
  while (.configure php)

     checking for Apache module support... no

Ooopps, guess that's not gonna work;-)

Hmm, it does the same thing on the TLUG server... Do I have to
rebuild Apache there as well?

And the adventure continues...

Regards,

Jim S.
