PHP code not displaying in IE 6
I'm a newbie to PHP and am have problems getting simple PHP page
(php_test_page.php) to display correctly. The page is: <html> <body> <H1>Test Line 1</h1> <?PHP echo '<H1>Test Line 2</h1>'; ?> </body> </html> Test Line 1 displays fine by not the PHP line. If I look at the source with the browser (IE 6), the line is still there. I'm not sure if the following is the problem. I might have two problems here. However, my default web server is not running and I can't seem to start it. The following is the scenario with XP Professional: - Click Control Panel - Click Performance and Maintenance - Click Administrative Tools - Double Click Computer Management - Open Services and Applications - Open Internet Information Services - Open Web Sites - The "Default Web Site" is has a red error sign is marked as stopped. Clicking "Default Web Site" and click "Start" yield an error dialog with the following message. "Unexpected error 0x8ffe2740 occurred."

Re: PHP code not displaying in IE 6
Hi Bruce
> Test Line 1 displays fine by not the PHP line. If I look at the source with > the browser (IE 6), the line is still there. As you assumed, your webserver seems not to work correctly, or it doesn't has support for PHP included. However, if it isn't running, then you wouldn't get anything of output in your browser (that means, if you point your browser correctly to http://...... and not to file:///....) > - The "Default Web Site" is has a red error sign is marked as > stopped. Clicking "Default Web Site" and click "Start" yield an error dialog > with the following message. "Unexpected error 0x8ffe2740 occurred." Btw, there is a nice package, 'xamp', which includes apache, mysql, php, phpmyadmin, etc. Easy-to-install, works on windows, nice for beginners...: http://www.apachefriends.org/en/. Perhaps you may try this one, if your current webserver won't start. Greetings, Greg

Re: PHP code not displaying in IE 6
Okay. Please tell me if I have discovered my problem. I entered:
http://localhost/Serenade/php_test_page.php and now all is good. Both lines appear and no PHP code appears in the when I look at the source with the browser. Is this what I needed to do? Thank you..

Re: PHP code not displaying in IE 6
Sorry I didn't mention I had Apache.
Here are the test results. - http://localhost/ returns Apache's default page - Running a pure HTML page: Displays okay - Running a nonexistent page returns a 404 error with "Internet Explorer" under the error number. - Running PHP Info displaces a formated listing of the config file. Does this mean that Apache is running correctly? I want to upgrade to PHP 4.3.7. Did the configuration file change between 4.3.2 and 4.3.7? Thanks for the help..

Re: PHP code not displaying in IE 6
docroot is c:\inetpub\wwwroot
Serenade is an alias in Apache's conf file for a directory under the docroot in the example below: http://localhost/Serenade/php_test_page.php which is the php page I was having problems with initially.

Re: PHP code not displaying in IE 6
Yes, I get the nice formatted listing.
I went through my php.ini and the php.ini_dist in 4.3.7. There were a couple of changes that I don't think will effect me. What I can find is where I "point" to 4.3.7.. When I run phpinfo.php, I still get 4.3.2 as my release. Somewhere there must be an .ini that sets this up.. Can you point me to this .ini file? Thanks.

You don't say which one you have done, but some copying around of files can be involved. Maybe this is where the problem is - either that or you have two versions of PHP installed and the Apache configuration is picking up the earlier version. I think you need to spend a little while checking the Apache documentation on this.
