I have just managed to get PHP4 to work with Monkey, and wanted to share my experiences so that anyone wanting to try this does not have to reinvent the wheel. I also searched these forums and apparently there wasn't much guidance (or at least I wasn't smart enuff to find it) on how to get PHP to work.

Here goes.
1. Download PHP-4-monkey-0.9.1 from MyDSL.
Choose System fm the "Download Extension Panel".

2. Open Emelfm to see where DSL installs the php.
On my system (DSLinux from within Windows), it
was /ramdisk/opt/php.

3. Edit the file /ramdisk/opt/monkey-0.9.1/conf/monkey.conf
In the section labelled AddScript, add the following:
AddScript application/x-httpd-php /ramdisk/opt/php/bin/php php

... And you are done.

Restart Monkey and try to access a file from browser, with contents such as <?php phpinfo(); ?>
Yes, it is that simple.

Hope this helps.
