elgoog Posted October 13, 2008 Share Posted October 13, 2008 Nothing seems to be outputting after a comment I have stripped everything out of my file and just inserted the following. I am stumped on what to try next. <? // comment echo "testing"; ?> Does anyone know what is going on? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trq Posted October 13, 2008 Share Posted October 13, 2008 You might want to try using <?php tags. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
F1Fan Posted October 13, 2008 Share Posted October 13, 2008 Looks OK, but you should really have <?php rather than just <?. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elgoog Posted October 13, 2008 Author Share Posted October 13, 2008 Tried with the full tag, doesn't seem to make a difference. Also tried wiping out the contents of my .htaccess just in case, but no luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stooney Posted October 13, 2008 Share Posted October 13, 2008 Your php install might be bad. Try a different browser (just a random idea) or print() in place of echo and see what happens. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
F1Fan Posted October 13, 2008 Share Posted October 13, 2008 Is that the entire contents of the file? Also, try: <?php echo "before"; // comment echo "after"; ?> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maq Posted October 13, 2008 Share Posted October 13, 2008 Try this to make sure: // comment echo "testing"; print "testing"; die(); ?> If not f4, reinstall. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elgoog Posted October 13, 2008 Author Share Posted October 13, 2008 <?php echo "before"; // comment echo "after"; ?> coming out with Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_CONSTANT_ENCAPSED_STRING in index2.php on line 1 Need to get in touch with host?

Stooney Posted October 13, 2008 Share Posted October 13, 2008 Are you sure that's all that's in the file? If so, try removing the <?php tag and see what happens. (Guessing kinda) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maq Posted October 13, 2008 Share Posted October 13, 2008 Yeah, this is a little too weird... And if you take the comment out it works?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
