WampServer

recently i had downloaded the WAMP server from the french web site anaska.com,installed and tested it.And the server ran just well when i typed [localhost] on the internet explorer.But after ensuring that the server is running, i typed in some PHP code on the Notepad and saved in the document root folder www at the WAMP server folder and tried to run it.But it showed the 'the page cannot be displayed page.I treid many other PHP codes.nothing worked.this happened in my laptop and also in my desktop.
So,i had decided to redownload the package from other location.This time i got the 'WAMPserver2.0i'.after installing this also i got the same problem as above.What at all is happening. can anyone please help me out?. I am so desperate.

Open Windows Explorer and go to C:/wamp/www

For now rename index.php to _index.php

Now go to [localhost] you should see a directory listing of all files/folders in C:/wamp/www. What files are listed? If see your files listed as filename.php.txt. Then you have not saved your files properly in Notepad.

When you save files in Notepad make sure you set the file type to All Files. Otherwiser Notepad will append the .txt file extension.

save the file as filenanme.php

most likely notepad is saving filename.php.txt and then windows is hiding the .txt as its a "known file type"


you can turn off "hide file extention for known file types " in wondows

when saving file in notepad use

Filename = filename.php
File Type = ALL

OR use a different editor such as NOTEPAD++



also make sure u put ur php file into the www folder and are using ht tp:/localhost/filename.php

and make sure u have used <?php and not <?

Hi Steven,

I have same PROBLEM, I use VISTA Home Basic. My Wamp Server is running well. All services are also running well. My PHP website is in c:/wamp/www/desidesigner. when I type [127.0.0.1] , I can see my homepage but with its weird, means I do not see Preview. Check this Screen Shot here & index.php file of my website so you can check file & let me know.

Thank you both c2dan and Steven for responding.And yes the Notepad didn't save it as a PHP file.Instead it saved the PHP file as text file.
after changing the file type to All Files it worked.Yes.Thank you both again...
(i do not have a personal net connection.And that's why it took this long to reply.OK.)

I have the same problem, but the file is of the correct extension .php. When I try to load using: [localhost]
the variable 'saisie' is not intialized and I get the following error:
Notice: Undefined variable: saisie in C:\wamp\www\FG_www\suitepage1.php on line 2

What I am doing wrong?
A .php page without parameters work just fine.

Thanks,
Francois

Open file php.ini through wamp tray icon and

Find

error_reporting = E_ALL

Replace w/

error_reporting = E_ALL & ~E_NOTICE

Then save file and restart wamp

Thanks - the issue is not the 'notice' message, but the fact that the variable is not defined. I found a way to make it work using $_POST or $_GET. Is it mandatory to use these function now.
I found in a book (PHP 4.1) that you could refer directly to variables ( $saisie in my case) and that it contains the parameter passed by the ?saisie=xxx so I was trying to echo the variable $saisie and was getting the Notice, and the variable did not echo anything.

Your change suppress the Notice, but the content of the variable still does not show up. Did it use to work in an earlier version of PHP ? is it illegal now ? am I doing something wrong ?

Thanks for your help,
Francois

That book you are reading is outdated and teaching you old insecure methods.

The because your code does not work no more is because a setting called register_globals is now disabled by default (since PHP4.2) and is soon to be removed completely.

You now need to use the new superglobal variables, the most common used are:
$_GET - used to grab variables from the url
$_POST - used to get the value of form fields (only if the form method is set to post)
$_COOKIE - used for cookies. See [php.net]
$_SESSION - used for session variables
$_SERVER - used for server side variables

OK, great! thank you so much for the clarification.
My problem is completly solved and fully understood.

Your product works great!
Thanks.
Francois
