PHP not working
Posted by: lmcgrath (---.bois.qwest.net)

I've just installed WAMP, but I don't see any PHP working!

Here's my test:

<?php
echo "hello world!";
?>

Before I went and messed up my Apache and PHP files, this worked fine. When I tried reinstalling, I couldn't get Apache running again! This was the only reason I switched to WAMP, but it's not working either--all I'm getting is a blank web page.

Any help?

Save all your files in c:/wamp/www/your_new_folder

If you have index file in dir your_new_folder, then access as follows:

[localhost]

If you don't have index file in there or want to access a particular file directly, then access your_file.php or your_file.html as follows:

[localhost]

Or

[localhost]

Hi,

My PHP scripts are not working neither, i have installed WAMP and i suppose everything else works although not tested mysql.

I'm new to PHP and WAMP. My [localhost] works and i have saved all my work onto d:/wamp/www/, as i have checked the php settings and its the same location.

Please help, if someone has a contact number that they dont mind to be contacted by it would be alot more preferable.

Thanks,
Mitesh Tanna

When localhost works, I don't think anything wrong w/ php, so make sure follows this:

If short_open_tag in c:/wamp/apache2/bin/php.ini is not enable, you must use full tag <?php ... ?>

If you enable short tag, make sure to restart your server after edited php.ini

Test your script as my instruction in the post above

When access localhost and through wamp welcome page, can you browse to that php page? Did you try it w/ a simple info() php page? If still not working, make sure that all services are running; check by pointing your cursor on wamp tray icon which should say "... all services running..."

Yes mate,

I have done and the echo() scripts will work such as hello.php file:

<html>
<head>
<title>PHP Test</title>
</head>
<body>
<?php echo '<p>Hello World</p>'; ?>
</body>
</html>

Although when i try using scripts like this:

<html>
<body>

Welcome <?php echo $_POST["name"]; ?>.<br />
You are <?php echo $_POST["age"]; ?> years old.

</body>
</html>

and alot of other scripts dont work, i think the html works but it doesn't read the php scripts. All services are active and i have tried it on another operating system i still get same issues.

I get a blank pages and they dont work, please help.

Thanks,
Mitesh Tanna

Normally you need a .php extension for those scripts.
They must reside in the webspace and must be called like [localhost]
If you get blank pages put the line:

echo '<hr><pre>PHP-GLOBALS-'; print_R($GLOBALS);

near the end of the file between any <?php ?> pair for, e.g., looking at the GET, POST and other vars.

You also may want to look at the error log.

In the PHP file the script data was:

<?php
$a += 10;

echo '<hr><pre>PHP-GLOBALS-'; print_R($GLOBALS);
?>

and i saved the file as "pg70_Arithmetic_Operators_simultaneously.php"

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I tried running this script file below, which i got out the book and it was a blank page again: There is something wrong i wish this is resolved asap.

<?php
// define variables
$num1 = 101;
$num2 = 5;

// add
$sum = $num1 + $num2;

//substract
$diff = $num1 - $num2;

//multiply
$product = $num1 * $num2;

// divide
$quotient = $num1 / $num2;

// modulus
$remainder = $num1 % $num2;
?>


I hope we can resolve this issue!

Thanks alot for your help,
Very appreciated,

you don't tell php to let apache echo the results to the browser!

try something like this (and get you a book "php for beginners" or somesuch winking smiley :

<?php
// define variables
$num1 = 101;

--8<--

// modulus
$remainder = $num1 % $num2;
echo 'remainder:', $remainder;
?>

Hi mate,

Yes finally, i tried the code:

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

<?php
//define variables
$num1 = 120;
$num2 =106;

// modulas
$remainder = $num1 % $num2;
echo 'remainder:', $remainder;
?>

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

and the browser responded:

remainder:14

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

So the other codes that i was trying to use from the book "How to do everything with PHP & MySQL" such as:

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

<html>
<head><basefont face="Arial"></head>
<body>

<h2>James Bond</h2>

<?php
$identity = 'James Bond';
$car = 'BMW';

// this would contain the string "James Bond drives a BMW"
$sentence = "$identity drives a $car";

// this would contain the string "$identity drives a $car"
$sentence = '$identity drives a $car';
?>

</body>
</html>

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Is wrong? How come none of the exercises work from there and some of the php code from the internet.

Do you have msn messenger address that i can add you to for some help, please.

Thanks alot,
Mitesh Tanna

I think your current book is ok, but some things to keep in mind that your book might be not up to date, I mean, it's might be for previous version of php and mysql, therefore, not all the codes would work, so you might want to play around w/ it a little bit, or google for some current changes

Also, sometimes the change of single quote and double quote might have the effect as well.

Since you're new to this wamp, you might want check my side for some other setups
