The Apache configuration directives for PHP are placed in
/etc/httpd/conf.d/php.conf, which is loaded by Apache by default.
What config directives did you need to add to httpd.conf?

There are a number of reasons why PHP scripts which worked with 7.x
may not work with the 8.0 PHP packages; mostly these are documented in
the migration guide at /usr/share/doc/httpd-2.0.40/migration.html,
which I suggest you read.

One issue not mentioned is that the "short_open_tag" config option is
turned off by default in /etc/php.ini, so PHP scripts which use the
"<? ... ?>" syntex will not work.  This can be changed in
/etc/php.ini.

Comment 2 Need Real Name 2002-11-07 09:44:35 UTC

Thanks for fast reaction. Probably I was not right - php is active and a reason
in this short_open_tag. I've used as test php stuff scripts from RH's standard
"wordtrans" package. It just shows me the php sources :-)
So probably it is a bug in "wordtrans" package, not in php.

So this report should be renamed to "wordtrans php scripts bug".

But IMHO it was extremly BAD idea to set short_open_tag to off by default. To my
mind you should change it, otherwise you will have a lot of complains about php
not working. 

So, even if packages that a part of 8.0 distribution affected by this setting,
it is really better to change this default.

Sorry for wrong report :-) I have not enough time to check all the things. My
idea was that at least packages that are part of distribution should work :-).
