Hi,

Which error?
You need to explain everything as detailed as possible if you want to have a chance that we are able to identify issues remotely.

Best wishes,

yes..shure ! i'm sorry..

i got a form with options that people can select (easy one ) look:

here's what it done on my web server.

but when i use xampp, i got this :



i can eaven not select anything...nothing works correctly.. u think it's a problem config ?

That is because your script relies on a specific php setting "short_open_tag" to be on.
But in the php recommendation (as in the xampp php settings) short_open_tag should be set to off.

As i dont think, that you can read and understand PHP scripts, there is no other option than changing php.ini.

Edit php.ini and search for "short_open_tag". Edit that line and change it to:

Code: Select all

short_open_tag = On

FInally save php.ini, then restart Apache. After then your script *should* work. Yes, its not recommended to use that option, but in case you dont have any PHP knowledge, there is no better solution.

thank you all..it seems to work rightly...
i've got severals Undefined variables unrecognised by xampp and alphanumerique chartersnot right like "é"
...but it seems to be good...
