OpenACS docs are written by the named authors, and may be edited by
OpenACS documentation staff.</div><p>To be able to use PHP software with AOLserver (and OpenACS), you
have to install PHP with AOLserver support. Get the latest version
from <a class="ulink" href="http://www.php.net" target="_top">www.php.net</a>. For convenience we get version 4.3.4 from a
mirror</p><pre class="screen">

file. Make sure your config file supports php (it should have a php
section with it). Furthermore, add <strong class="userinput"><code>index.php</code></strong> as the last element to
