My php Pages turn up blank.
Posted by: Asho (---.dynamic.dsl.as9105.com)

I have done everything everyone says. Like .php extension, opening it in [localhost].
I have All the services running.

BUT still it turns up blank!

I tried one of the simpleist things.

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN"
"[www.w3.org];
<html xmlns="[www.w3.org];
<head>
<title>Todays Date</html>
</head>
<body>
<p>Today's Date (according to this web server) is
<?php

echo date('l, F dS Y.')

?></p>
</body>
</html>

But it still doesn't work.

Funn y thing is that it actually seems to be working, because if I open the .php document in [localhost], then open the source it come up with.

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN"
"[www.w3.org];
<html xmlns="[www.w3.org];
<head>
<title>Todays Date</html>
</head>
<body>
<p>Today's Date (according to this web server) is
Saturday, August 04th 2007.</p>
</body>
</html>


Please help.

Thanks,

Ash

As far as I've experienced, 2 things cause that problem

1. The file is saved as html instead php
2. Firewall blocked wamp

Solutions:
1. Make sure to save your files as php
2. Make sure to enable/to setup an exception port 80; or worst, just TEMPORARY uninstall your firewall to test wamp

Have fun,

he he... he he... ;-)

I've just spotted a very BIG mistake in your code, so not sure it just a typo here or your code actually wrong like that. Anyway, in the title line, it has html close tag which will close your page before it has a chance to get to the body

So, if it's really a problem, you should change

<title>Todays Date</html>

To:

<title>Todays Date</title>
