newbie

Hi at all, I'm newbie in php and I'm searching to make function one
project that I found in a school book, the project is ok because it
functions a part some script. I'd like to know which is the error.
I'm working on win xp pro and on it I have installed a server apache
ver.2.2.4
php ver. 5.2.4, mysql server and client ver.
3.23

I report you the problem:
When I compile the form, my data that I fill in, it has not
processed.The thing strange is that when I change version of Apache,
version of php, And version of mysql the problem becomes another in
other words is another script that don't go.
here is the script:

<?
include ("admin/config.php");
include ("admin/users.php");

Please do not multi-post. Cross-post instead, if you must.

that code will never work on php5 or 4 , if you're not editing
php.ini. your script uses globals, that are de-activated by default
sind php4.
you're using short tags, that must be activated in php.ini too (they
are activated by default i think).

php-code isn't compiled ever. it's parsed.

it would be extremly useful if you post the errormessage instead of
loads of html.

PHP code is compiled into a bytecode, which is then interpreted by the
Zend engine. Code caches are able to keep the compiled code in memory to
speed up the script execution.

>it's parsed.

Parsing is one of the steps that have to be done before code can be
compiled.

Nope, Lammi is correct. PHP code is not compiled, it is parsed. It may
or may not be stored as byte code.

Not even Zend claims PHP is compiled.

The parser is just a part of the entire process.

There's even the special function __halt_compiler().
