Re: [PHP] PHP not being read?

2010-04-25 Thread Gary

Good question.

I just put the original file up and it worked as written. So that would seem 
to rule out editor and browser. It is either an apache issue or php. I'm 
wondering if Apache is running some older version of php.  Installed with 
the XAMPP instalation was php 5.2.9.


Thanks again for the help.

$years=number_format($years,0,'.',',');
$days=number_format($days,0,'.',',');
$months=number_format($months,0,'.',',');

/*Interesting, when I had the number_format of days before the

echo There is $seconds in a second;
echo pThere are $minutes seconds in a minute./p;
echo pThere are $hours seconds in an hour./p;

echo pThere are $months seconds in a month./p;

And this code produces, on the good machine, the tower, this:

I am  years old.




There is 1 in a second
There are 60 seconds in a minute.

There are 3600 seconds in an hour.

There are 86,400 seconds in a day.

There are 2,592,000 seconds in a month.

There are 31,104,000 seconds in a year.

You have lived about 0 Seconds in your life



Same exact code that I just now sent over to the original bad 
machine,

produces this:




I am  years old.




There are $minutes seconds in a minute.; echo 

There are $hours seconds in an hour.

; echo 

There are $days seconds in a day.

There are $months seconds in a month.

Hi Gary,
It is probably because you have the file named .html and not .php.

I took your code:

?php

echo $seconds;

and put it an a .html and .php file and put it on my server.
With the.php file, I got a result of 1
for the .html file I got a blank screen.

Thanks for your reply, I had that file open and was looking around in it.

In a funny twist of things, I had created a phpinfo() page, and it did not 
show in the browser.  Then I switched root folders in DW, and the phpinfo() 
page showed. I copied the original experiment file and the numbers and 
calculations showed properly.  So it would seem the plot is thickening. 
Trouble is that I am unsure if I can trust this computer the way it is.

[PHP] PHP not being read?

2010-04-24 Thread Gary

What would cause a machine not to read/process php?

I have a laptop that I have been ever increasing using for php scripting.  I 
decided to do a simple experiment, it started out something like:


$seconds=1;
$minutes=$seconds*60;
$hours=$minutes*60;
$days=$hours*24;

echo $seconds;
echo $minutes;
echo $hours;
echo $days;

Nothing showed in the browser on my local server. I then tried various 
changes, adding single quotes, double quotes, parenthsis, changing echo to 
printnothing.


Finally, after looking online and through a couples of books, I was able to 
get this in the browser:


$minutes; echo $hours; echo $days; ?

I also got this in a browser (code not included in this post but you can see 
how far back to the basics I went to get this to work).


Hello World'; echo 

$minutes
; echo $hours; echo $days; ?

When I sent the file over to my other computer...I got what I thought I was 
going to get, numbers and calculations.


What would cause a browser to display the closing tags of php?

I dont know where to begin to look, could this be a setting in my editor 
(Dreamweaver CS3), the testing server config file, the browsers?


Thanks for your help.

A text editor with syntax highlighting would certainly help. There's a

That's an unterminated string literal, a syntax error, which would cause PHP
to abort entirely. Your php's error log probably has a message in it to this
extent.

The reason why you got a number of different results is probably because you
added another double quote further down in later versions.

But if that's somehow not it, post the entire source code of your file on a

Hi Gary,
It is probably because you have the file named .html and not .php.

I took your code:

?php
$seconds=1;
echo $seconds;
?

and put it an a .html and .php file and put it on my server.
With the.php file, I got a result of 1
for the .html file I got a blank screen.

HTH,

Karl

Thank you for your reply, but that is not it.

I took it down to
?php

Total code, and got nothing, blank screen.  (this is just a silly
exercise
where I was going to input a date of birth and produce age in   
seconds)

When
I put the exact same code on my other machine, it showed numbers and
calculations, most important, it showed something at all.

This is an issue with configuration or settings somewhere, or   
perhaps my

XAMPP is corrupt.

Thank you for your reply.

A text editor with syntax highlighting would certainly help.   
There's a

double quote  right in front of the $hours variable on the fourth
line.
That's an unterminated string literal, a syntax error, which would
cause
PHP
to abort entirely. Your php's error log probably has a message  
in  it to

this
extent.

The reason why you got a number of different results is probably
because
you
added another double quote further down in later versions.

But if that's somehow not it, post the entire source code of  
your  file

on
a
site like http://pastie.org/ so we can have a closer look.
