php doesn't work

Postby 12strings » 24. April 2013 23:39

I have run xampp localhost out of the box for sometime with 98SE, 2000, vista, XP & now win 7, both 32 & 64 bit.I have never had a problem until now. I've
tried the 1.8.0 on both machines but just like the older version. I must tell you I do have the visual c++ 2008. The control shows Apache &Mysql running,
access & edit my databases but PHP code only displays code. I'm hoping someone will advise ?

It shouldn't. It should request the orange XAMPP Administration Page.

Well, phpmyadmin is also written in php, so your php seems to work, just your scripts didn't.

Most common "php don't get parsed issues":
  • Using short_open_tag
  • wrong Browser request (file:// instead of http:// protocol)
  • File extension .html instead of .php
  • wrong encoding (UTF8 with instead of without ByteOrderMark, UCS2 or other Multibyte- or other non-ANSI character encodings)
