frazz Posted June 2, 2008 Share Posted June 2, 2008 I feel really stupid, I can't even get a hello world to work. Here is my page source: <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd"> <html dir="ltr" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"> <head><meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" /><title> Frazzco.com!! </title></head> <body style="color: #FFFFFF; background-color: #000000"> <?php echo "<p>HelloWorld!</p>"; ?> </body> </html> The output I get is: HelloWorld!"; ?> What am I doing wrong?

JChilds Posted June 2, 2008 Share Posted June 2, 2008 Does <?php echo 'Hello World!'; ?> work ? Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/108319-solved-hello-freaking-worldquot-gt/#findComment-555330 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nexy Posted June 2, 2008 Share Posted June 2, 2008 The original code should work, maybe you installed php incorrectly? Just saying, as I use echo the same way the op wrote it and it works fine.

frazz Posted June 2, 2008 Author Share Posted June 2, 2008 Alright, I updated my site. Check out frazzco.com if you want to see it yourself. Here's the page source: <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd"> <html dir="ltr" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"> <head><meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" /><title> Frazzco.com!! </title></head> <body style="color: #FFFFFF; background-color: #000000"> <?php echo 'Hello World!'; ?> </body> </html> But don't you need the <p> tags to display text? Now my page is just blank. I'm using MS Expression Web, by the way. It doesn't really support PHP, but I just type it manually into the html anyway.

soycharliente Posted June 2, 2008 Share Posted June 2, 2008 It's an ASP page. How do you think it's going to be able to run PHP? Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/108319-solved-hello-freaking-worldquot-gt/#findComment-555347 Share on other sites More sharing options...
frazz Posted June 2, 2008 Author Share Posted June 2, 2008 I don't know. Should I make an html instead? Edit: Actually, I did. Look at the page source on frazzco.com/default.htm The same thing is still happening. When I do echo 'Hello World!'; it comes up blank.

JChilds Posted June 2, 2008 Share Posted June 2, 2008 You page should have the .php extension Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/108319-solved-hello-freaking-worldquot-gt/#findComment-555352 Share on other sites More sharing options...
soycharliente Posted June 2, 2008 Share Posted June 2, 2008 Is your site setup to handle processing PHP pages? It's a complete different language with a different type of support than ASP. You'll need to switch language support with your provider if you want to run PHP. I have never heard of anyone running both at the same time. (Now watch someone come in here and say they have. Which is beside the point.) Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/108319-solved-hello-freaking-worldquot-gt/#findComment-555353 Share on other sites More sharing options...
frazz Posted June 2, 2008 Author Share Posted June 2, 2008 So I need to do this with my provider? That may be a problem, as this is an Office Live site, and I doubt Microsoft will want to move away from asp, as it is marketed by Microsoft (if I understand things correctly). Does this mean I'll need to change providers to use PHP? If so, are there any possible workarounds I could try?

soycharliente Posted June 2, 2008 Share Posted June 2, 2008 You pick a language to run your site in. It will have that library loaded onto the server and allow you to access the functions. If the library that is loaded is an ASP one, then you can't run PHP. If it's hosted my MS, then I don't know how they'll feel, like you said. I'm not saying go spend money on a different host, but to run PHP, you need a different language library.

frazz Posted June 2, 2008 Author Share Posted June 2, 2008 Alright, guess I'll have to ditch PHP for now then. It's been a fun two hours on the site. Thanks!

soycharliente Posted June 2, 2008 Share Posted June 2, 2008 maybe, maybe it actually is possible. I don't see how it would work though. I thought IIS and Apache served pages in completely different manners for it to work. http://lists.nyphp.org/pipermail/talk/2004-June/010074.html I don't know enough about IIS and Apache and smut.

With what that page is saying you would still need the PHP Processor to run PHP scripts, if there is no PHP Processor, then it still wouldn't be run.
