PHP code not executing

specht · June 29th, 2003, 4:07 PM

I'm trying to execute a PHP script and it isn't happening. If you view source, the PHP code is visible (which it shouldn't be and isn't on my other server). Is there some switch I need to activate to enable php with surpass hosting?

Thanks in advance.

just checking here but you have got the extension php and not htm or html on the document containing the php code???

all pages that contain php code must have the php extension.

can you tell me what page you went to for it not to work and let me know what you are seeing on the screen???

A link to a screenshot would be good also.

If you are still having this problem I would make sure you have the php tag at the beginning of the page (or where the php code starts) correct.
<?php or <?
And if <? is not working I would try using <?php also in case <? doesnt work on this server.

There is nothing special to activate PHP for our servers as it is part of the default configuration. Just make sure you have your files with a .php extension and make sure you are using the opening and closing tags for PHP. As for the contents, you will have to reference php.net, as all the tags are listed there.

I do see what appears to be your site just fine, not sure where the problem is or how it is suppose to be displayed.

i am having the same problem:
http://www.outcastcomics.com/headlines.php?id=1

nothing happens. the php script works fine, ive check it on my testing server on my home box. but on this server nothing ahppens, the script doesnt execute at all. it wont even output html outside of a php echo statement, it wont even echo a simple echo statement in php.

hrmmm... I dunno, but I went there and in the source code (sorry, I looked) All I see is...

Code:

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN">
<HTML><HEAD>
<META http-equiv=Content-Type content="text/html; charset=windows-1252"></HEAD>
<BODY></BODY></HTML>

So I'm assuming that the php is somewhere in there.
But honestly I don't know why it's doing that... Is there something in the script that the browser or server wouldn't like? <_<

But yeah, I only see a blank page... :ask:

that stuff is the default things php sends to the browser when there isnt anything to output.
i dont have a clue what is wrong. every other php page works (well, it did happen to me earlier with anohter script, but it started working for some reason)
