apache 2.2.8, PHP & SSI

MargeS

I have tried nearly every solution google throws up...but still no luck!
All of this works in the LIVE environment but not in my local. I have just installed WAMP and am stuck trying to get SSI working.

• I have an index.php file in the root of the site.
• I have a header.php in an SSI folder.

• index.php has a directive: <? include ("/ssi/header.php"); ?>
• header.php has php code that displays an image depending on the page.
  <?
  if ($PHP_SELF == '/index.php')
  {
  echo ('<img src="/images/banner.gif" width="390" height="157">');
  }
  elseif ($PHP_SELF == '/aboutus.php')............... ?>

• httpd file has these added:
  Options Indexes Includes FollowSymLinks
  
  AddType text/html .php
  AddOutputFilter INCLUDES .php

• One more thing... I have a .htaccess file in the root which rewrites .php to .html

Might be a daft question, but have you got short tags enabled locally? (<? as opposed to <?php)?

+1 since as I believe PHP5 has them turned off by default

Nice one! I'd never in a million years have seen that. I'm new to PHP so have no experience with PHP v4. That fixed the problem, so now I am getting proper errors being logged.
I'm having a problem changing the (include_path='.;C:\php5\pear') to my own path. But I reckon I can muddle through this. Thanks again.
