WampServer

mY wamp is working perfectly.
both services are running.
when i try to veiw my new document that is a php document, i only see the html in the php document. Why don't i see the php, for backup i copied a code from the book and that still didnt work.

how did you run it? w/ your_file.php stores in wamp/www, hope you run it like this

[localhost]

yes, i put the file in my directory, opened up my localhost and when i ran it everything but the php showed up. it was a pretty simple print script too.



~im a major noob, but am a fast learner.

am i saving it wrong?
i save it as a text document and its name is test.php



~im a major noob, but am a fast learner.

make sure it is test.php not test.php.txt and have to save it in wamp/www, not any other directory and run it like this, just click the link below if you save it in right place

[localhost]

Hello,

I had the same problem. I think you are using the short opening tag for php <? ?> in stead of <?php ?>

you can use <?php ?> in the code or change the php.ini file.

The php.ini is located in \wamp\Apache2\bin

change the line:
short_open_tag = Off
into:
short_open_tag = On

Instead enable short_open_tag, use standard php tag so your codes can be compatible w/ any server.
