I've been writing PHP applications using PHP for a while in WAMP. Now I'm installing PHP and Apache HTTP Server separately on my work PC. I've installed PHP 5, and the latest Apache. I go to localhost and see it works!
Now I add a file called test.php which displays:
<?php
phpinfo();
?>
But in the browser it just displays plain text. Is there somewhere I have explicitly tell it to use PHP 5?
As was determined in the comments above, this was caused by an environmental difference - the HOME env var was set differently inside the executed process. Using proc_open instead of simple exec gave more precise control over said process and explicitly setting that env var solved the issue.
You can make a .htaccess file and enter Options -Indexes this will disable listing of the files in the directory.
If you also need the traffic to originate from your site you will need to make a file say... index.php with code that checks $_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER'] to see if the traffic originates from your site.
EDIT
Oh I forgot you can actually fix it all in the .htaccess:
Options -Indexes
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http://your-host.com/.*$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^.* /403-page [L,R]
This will do all the work of the script I suggested, so you won't need it anymore.
Just an idea ...
Do you have session.referer_check set to your host perhaps?
The default is the empty string, but it might have been changed ... and when the page 'comes back' from PayPal, php will trash the session info.
You can check the session.referer_check with phpinfo().
ASIHTTPRequest doesn't support ARC, so it is expected you get errors if you use it in an project with ARC enabled.
There are various solutions on how to disable ARC just for the asihttprequest files suggested here:
https://github.com/pokeb/asi-http-request/issues/210
The easiest one is just to disable ARC for the ASIHTTPRequest source files, see here : How can I disable ARC for a single file in a project?
Someone has started what they called an ARC compliant HTTPRequest - basically a very small wrapper around NSURLConnection that has a similar interface to ASIHTTPRequest:
https://github.com/imathome/ARCHTTPRequest
It doesn't support all/most of the features of the full ASIHTTPRequest though.
Finally, a lot of people are moving to use AFNetworking instead. The more recent versions all use ARC, although as the recommended way to use it is via CocoaPods the ARC compiler flags will be sorted out correctly automatically:

You'll need to add this to your server configuration:
That is assuming you have installed PHP properly, which may not be the case since it doesn't work where it normally would immediately after installing.
It is entirely possible that you'll also have to add the
php.so/.dll file to your Apache configuration using aLoadModuledirective (usually inhttpd.conf).
