To test whether php is working with apache I would refer you to the Desktop Configuration guide located here:
http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/desktop.xml

You need to look under the first part of section 8. It shows you how to setup apache for php. You should have little problem if you follow this guide. It is fairly straightforward.

Essentially you will need to configure /etc/conf.d/apache2 by adding the following line to it:

APACHE2_OPTS="-D SSL -D PHP4"

Then to test if php is working you create a test php file as follows

# nano -w /var/www/localhost/htdocs/test.php
<?php phpinfo(); ?>

You would then point your browser at http://localhost/test.php to see if you get something like the following:
Code:

phpinfo() (p1 of 26)
PHP Logo

PHP Version 4.0.6

System Linux my.server.edu 2.4.10 #1 Tue Oct 9 16:33:50 Local
time zone must be set--see zic manuali686 i686 unknown
Build Date Oct 16 2001


If you see something like the above then Apache is successfully processing PHP code.
Lastly, there is a warning you should heed:
Code:

Warning: If you look at the full output of the above, you'll find out that the test.php script gives out a lot of information about your system. You should probably get rid of it once you know that php is working. (Or you can do what I do, and just mv test.php test.phps. Apache will display test.phps as a PHP source file instead of executing the script.)


Good luck!
