Apache | Configuration for Using PHP | Adding the Module (php7_module) and Registering the Extension (.php)
This article explains how to add the module required to use PHP through Apache, php7_module, and how to register the .php extension.
Adding the module
First, add the module required to use PHP. Open the Apache configuration file, Apache24/conf/httpd.conf, in a text editor and search for Dynamic Shared Object (DSO) Support. You will find content like the following.
#
# Dynamic Shared Object (DSO) Support
#
# To be able to use the functionality of a module which was built as a DSO you
# have to place corresponding `LoadModule' lines at this location so the
# directives contained in it are actually available _before_ they are used.
# Statically compiled modules (those listed by `httpd -l') do not need
# to be loaded here.
#
# Example:
# LoadModule foo_module modules/mod_foo.so
#
#LoadModule access_compat_module modules/mod_access_compat.so
LoadModule actions_module modules/mod_actions.so
.. (omitted) ..
#LoadModule watchdog_module modules/mod_watchdog.so
#LoadModule xml2enc_module modules/mod_xml2enc.so
The modules that can be added dynamically are written here. If you are using Apache 2.4, add the following line at the end of this block. This example assumes PHP 7.
#LoadModule watchdog_module modules/mod_watchdog.so
#LoadModule xml2enc_module modules/mod_xml2enc.so
LoadModule php7_module C:/apache/php-7.4.0-Win32-vc15-x64/php7apache2_4.dll
Change the path of the DLL file to match the environment where PHP is installed.
–
If you check the directory where PHP is installed, you can confirm that the DLL file above exists.

With this, the PHP module is loaded when Apache starts.
Registering the extension (.php)
Connect the extension used by PHP, .php, with PHP. By registering it, when a file with the .php extension is accessed, Apache returns the result executed using PHP to the client. Write the following at the bottom of the httpd.conf file.
<FilesMatch "\.php$">
AddHandler php7-script .php
AddType application/x-httpd-php .php
</FilesMatch>
This registers the extension.
Specifying the php.ini location (PHPIniDir)
Specify the path where the PHP configuration file, php.ini, is installed. Open the httpd.conf file and write the following at the end.
PHPIniDir "C:/apache/php-7.4.0-Win32-vc15-x64"
This example assumes that the php.ini file is installed in the C:/apache/php-7.4.0-Win32-vc15-x64 directory. Change it to match your environment. If php.ini does not exist after the initial installation, copy php.ini-development or php.ini-production and change the extension to ini.
With this, Apache can reference the php.ini file at the specified location.
After changing the httpd.conf file, restart Apache to apply the new settings.
