Apache Friends Support Forum

Hey there, this is my first post here and I have a little issue with using XAMPP. I got the server up an running perfectly, but when I added a php files, it showed parts of the code instead of how it's supposed to look.

here's what it looks like now: http://www.dizfreakradio.co.nr/samPHPweb/playing.php

Hope you can help me, Thanks!

Can't access your link.

Some questions to answer:

- Which XAMPP Version do you use?
- Anything changed in the config?
- Your files have the file extension .php (not .php5 or something else)?
- You access them in your Browser with http://localhost/ or full IP/Domain Name (not directly from your Harddisc like C:\xampp\...)?
- Do you use short open tags (<? and <?= instead of <?php and <?php echo) in your file or included files of them?

That's funny, I've forwarded and opened port 80, so I'll have to check why the link can't be accessed.

Anyway, I have XAMPP version 1.7.3, I didn't change anything in the xampp config, but I did change the php config to have short_open_tags=on so that means that I use short open tags.

I just went again to access the file through localhost, and I get the following error: Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_ECHO in C:\XAMPP\xampp\htdocs\samPHPweb\playing.php on line 74

Never got that until now.

look around your line 74 if you have forgotton brackets or semicolons or produced some other syntax error

Ok, so I fixed a bracket issue on line 74, but now I'm getting this message: Parse error: syntax error, unexpected $end in C:\XAMPP\xampp\htdocs\samPHPweb\common\metabase\metabase_interface.php on line 675

There must be anything else you haven't closed well. Check your code, if all open brackets are closed again

Ok, fixed another bracket issue. Now I'm getting this Fatal error: Cannot redeclare MetabaseSetupDatabase() (previously declared in C:\XAMPP\xampp\htdocs\samPHPweb\common\metabase\metabase_interface.php:9) in C:\XAMPP\xampp\htdocs\samPHPweb\common\metabase\metabase_interface.php on line 22
