I am doing work for this client and his host doesn't support the DOMXML php extension, which is one of the main extensions i use.
So the host said you can compile your own CGI PHP and use .htaccess.
I've never really compiled anything before (except for a few simple C projects), so i downloaded the PHP source and followed some instructions (http://www.onlamp.com/pub/a/php/2000/11/17/php_admin.html?page=1). After it finished compiling all i had (as far as i could see) were 3 different php related exacutables. One was names 'php', so i uploaded it to the server added this:
AddHandler custom-php .php .pcgi
Action custom-php /cgi-bin/php
to a .htaccess file and tested a simple php file. No go. It just displayes the php files source. I cant figure out what i did wrong. I only uploaded one single php binary, is that what i was suppossed to do? Any ideas on why this isn't working?
Thanks
