[plug] Help setting up Apache/PHP on Debian

[James Devenish]

Hi,

Releases of new software should really avoid PHP3 and provide specific
advice if PHP3 is required. So, when in doubt, I would suggest
installing PHP4.

Ryan's advice looks very sound. The PHP 3 module provides a handler for
application/x-httpd-php3, whereas PHP 4 and PHP 5 provide handlers for
application/x-httpd-php. Also, note that if Leopard's files end with a
".php" extension, this likely to indicate that PHP 4 is required
(otherwise, the extension would probably be ".php3"). Because PHP 4 and
PHP 3 are often not interchangeable, you may find that you need to
install PHP 4 to get the scripts to work anyway.
