This is the easiest way to get and test php support in a apache web server. First, create a file in your htdocs directory (ask the location from your web hosting provider if you are not sure named test.php. Second, Open the file in your favorite text editor and add the line:
<? php phpinfo() ?>
Finally, Save the file and open it using your browser: http://host_name/test.php
That's it! Now you can see a page with php information and get all abilities that your server can handle. PHP support is required if you want to run lots of web applications like Joomla, for example. Demand PHP support from your web-hosting provider if it is not already enabled.
