hello,

i just want to know if this .htaccess code is correct:

AddType application/x-httpd-php .exa

I am pretty sure that it is correct but it doesnt work when i use it.
I am putting it in my .htaccess file in my root directory. and i am using exa as an example.

define "doesn't work"

there can be dozens of things that happen / don't happen

When i use this script or w/e i just see the text, and a file that has:

PHP Code:

 <?php
echo "this is a test";
?>

is displayed as:

<?php
echo "this is a test";
?>

on the webpage.

You might want to try

AddType x-httpd-php .exa

nope that doesnt work

Is PHP is installed and enabled on your hosting ? and what version of Apache ?

Try

AddHandler application/x-httpd-php .php .phtml .exa

if it's Apache 2

WOW, it still doesnt work. What else can i try?

Installing PHP I would guess.

i have every thing installed, whats that url for the complete Apache users Guide?

http://httpd.apache.org/docs/

Your host may not be allowing these changes in the httpd.conf
