Xampp not displaying Includes

Postby logicsound » 17. March 2010 19:00

I have a website that I have taken over and it works fine on the web (hosted) I am still new to php so I have setup a xampp server on my xp machine so I can work with the website and see changes locally. Everything with the install of xampp works perfect, xampp website works fine. So I created a new folder and copied all my files in the directory (htdocs/test) When I go to localhost/test my page is displayed but none of the includes (which is most of the site) are included. Do I need to do something with php.ini?

Here is some of my code

Index.php

Code: Select all

you are not using the actuell writing for including php commands:
<? include('ccr.php'); ?> replace by <?php include('ccr.php'); ?> (the other one lines too)

Another possibility is switching short_open_tags ON in php.ini. On my opinion it's not a good idea - it will work now but in later time you will get trouble.
(a lot of hosters have switched short_open_tags ON, to get less trouble with their customers)

Yes, it is recommended that you use <?php ?> rather than <? ?>.
