WampServer

I previously had a LAMP installation and all my PHP programs were executed properly, including PHPMyadmin etc. My LAMP installtion was a standard SugerSpike 4.0.

When I moved to WAMP5, not a single of my PHP programs are running properly. Take an example test.php

<?
echo "Nitin";
?>

Even this gives a blank output when executed.

What is the problem?

Hi Nitin,

Same is the case here.

Earlier I had phpdev installed and all my projects were working fine.

It had PHP4.2.3 and therefore I shifted to WAMP.

Following code not working.

<?
echo"Hi";
?>

Also,

sqllitemanager is also not working.

Hi Nitin,

It worked for me.

Try to change

<?
echo "Nitin";
?>


to


<?php
echo "Nitin";
?>

yes, WAMP comes with short asp style tags disabled in the php.ini file. It is a good idea to use full php tags ( <?php ), not short style ( ?> ). if you are going to develop scripts to sell, and you use short tags in your scripts, anyone who buys your script and has short style tags disabed in their php.ini file, they wont work.

php comes the short style tages disabled as default.

That's right.

But problem with short tags is that these don't work with Paypal API's

I had to enable them and then Paypal API's worked(I am talking about sample api's)

I'm having the same problem. I tried using the full php tags as well however I only get a blank screen. The default index.php page works w/o any problems.

The following outputs nothing and when you view source it shows the code verbatum:

<?php
phpinfo();
?>

Make sure your all your website files (html, php, css, images,etc.) are in your www folder.
c:\wamp\www

if your files are located somewhere else, they wont get parced by apache.

They are all located in the www folder.

*sorry for my bad english*

You have to modify the "php.ini" file , in c:\wamp\php\

change :

--> short_open_tag = off

to

--> short_open_tag = on
