Are php scripts working at all?

I can't swear to it being related, as I installed a number of patches at the same time as 15959.pkg, but I had PHP quit working completely (install a simply php script which just prints hello world, or phpinfo() or something to check.

As I said, php quit working after the installation of this pkg, but I tracked it down to srm.conf being altered - the lines

AddType application/x-httpd-php .php3
AddType application/x-httpd-php .php4
AddType application/x-httpd-php .php
#AddType application/x-httpd-php4 .php3
#AddType application/x-httpd-php4 .php4
#AddType application/x-httpd-php4 .php
#AddType application/x-httpd-php4-source .php4s
#AddType application/x-httpd-php4-source .php3s
#AddType application/x-httpd-php4-source .phps

had all disappeared from srm.conf - they should have been just under the comment line:

# PHP4 (backwards compatible with php3)

but they had magically vanished.  I reinstated them, restarted apache:

/etc/rc.d/init.d/httpd restart

and php was functional again.
