WAMP working but php will not display on pages

Hi all,

I've looked around but I cannot figure out why...

a webpage I look at via the web interface displays fine but with no signs of php content.

Any ideas why that would be?

Thanks!

Win7 64bit
WAMP 2.4
Wamp icon is green
localhost is working fine... just fine

Are you doubleclicking on the php script from explorer?

If so dont. You have to run a the script in your browser for Apache to see the php and pass it to the PHP interpreter for compilation and execution.

Thanks for replying!

I go through localhost and choose the page I'd like to see. The entire page displays correctly except for the PHP which simply doesn't display at all.

I made another page with this code:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<body>

<?php
echo "My first PHP script!";
?>


</body>
</html>

This results in a blank html page.

Weird stuff.

Any ideas?

Does the localhost page show the WAMPServer home page?

Yes it does.

Everything seems to be working except for the php bits of pages. Weirdly if I go to a separate php script like this:
<?php
$count_my_page=("captiveportal-hitcounter.txt"winking smiley;
$hits = file($count_my_page);
$hits[0] ++;
$fp = fopen($count_my_page , "w"winking smiley;
fputs($fp , "$hits[0]"winking smiley;
fclose($fp);
echo $hits[0];
?>

It will give me the resulting count. But when the script is called as part of a page of html it fails to do anything.

OOooohhhhh now I get it.


If you want to run php either the file has to have a .php extension or you have to tell apache that .html files should also be passed to the php interpreter as well.

I woudl stick to using the .php extension.


This line in httpd.conf tells apache to treat .php files in a special way

AddType application/x-httpd-php .php

That line makes apache pass the file to php for execution


If you want to use .html files as php code hosts you will need to do add another line like this

AddType application/x-httpd-php .html
