xampp php problems

Postby michaelg252 » 27. July 2010 00:05

hello all, thanks in advance for any help given i really need it. my issue is that ive been trying to create a template in joomla using xampp for a testing server, after months of chipping away i come to realize that my php is not working properly, or maybe im missing something in my newbness. for example if i echo hello world it will not return. or any of the many php commands that ive written to my website..when i open the index.php file it gives me an error stating that theres something wrong with my installation..however my html seems to show..when i check my status under my xampp control panel everything says activated except for stmp and ftp which i did not activate..if these symptoms sound familiar or correctable it would be appreciated....

If you could post the actual PHP error messages, we might be able to help you...

When I ran your script, I also got an error, but not the same one. Why not try something simple like:


<?php
$test = "Hi mom";
echo $text ;
exit;
?>

and see if that works. If it does, then try the code you posted, but comment out the header statement and try:
echo "location='$uri/xampp/'";

instead - does it show your localhost/xampp folder?
