PHP displaying source code......
Posted: 29. September 2009 15:49Just for a change, BEFORE I go in hacking away at configurations and such, I figured I'd look in here for what's going on... I did a couple searches and got back a ton of hits, but apparently I'm not doing it quite right 'cause one of them told me what I need to do... Installed xampp-win32-1.7.2 because I was having an impossible time getting separate php, apache, and mysql working (actually, so far, the whole php/mysql thing has been an absolute nightmare)... It says the installation is successful.
The Status says things have been activated - mysql, php, apache, etc.......
phpinfo shows php information. Apache 2.2 service is running. Doing "localhost" brings up the xampp page. Things APPEAR to be good.......
SO, I have a trivially simple html file:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="en" lang="en">
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />
<title>test html</title>
</head>
<body>
<h2>html title</h2>
<p>Simple html form:</p>
<form method="post" action="report.php">
<input type="submit" value="testbutton" name="submit" />
</form>
</body>
</html>
That calls a trivially simple php file:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="en" lang="en">
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />
<title>html title in php file</title>
</head>
<body>
<h2>html header in php file</h2>
<?php
echo 'Submitting pressed - displaying php';
?>
</body>
</html>
I run it by double-clicking on the html file (both of which are in the htdocs directory)... Comes up fine with the screen and button.
But, when I push the button, one of two things happens, and I have no idea what causes which:
I either get the source code for the php file instead of having it run
OR I get NOTHING from the php.... The "h2" header displays "html header in php file" and I get nothing afterward.....
I know this has to be a simple configuration thing, and I'm going to head out on the Internet to look at topics in other places that talk about getting php source code, but I figured
I'd at least ask in here since y'all would be the experts on xampp and its components......
