Server 2003 wamp install

Ali25m · October 25, 2010

Hi guys,

I've been searching about on this topic for a little while and haven't come across a working answer as of yet.

The issue I am having is that after an install of wamp on my 2003 server the php pages are displayed in the browser as text instead of html. I the files have been saved correctly so they are not .txt files and have the correct encoding. The phpmyadmin site loads great and I have created databases so mysql is up and running too. The other strange aspect is that the php files were developed on my local machine and tested/ debugged untill working so again I'm sure its not the files. I have tried a reinstall of wamp with no sucess.

So the only conclusion I can come to is it is an issue within the config files either the php.ini or the apache httpd conf or both. What really has me puzzled is that the install process on my local machine was exactly the same as on the 2003 server and they work fine locally?????

Any sujestions/ideas are appriciated.

:confused:

phpmyadmin is a php script, so php is working (unless you have a separate web server in addition to what wamp installed.)

Post one of your php scripts that does not work, showing the opening php tag being used in the file.

thanks for the quick response, my code is on my machine at work so I'll post a script tomorrow morning. Cheers

Try this code as well, exactly as shown -

<?php
phpinfo();
?>

I've already tried phpinfo (); (sorry I should have mentioned that) and it loads as text as well.

Here is one of the pages I've created

<?php

error_reporting(0);

include 'sdconnection.php';

$name = $_POST['name'];

$issue = $_POST['issue'];

$room = $_POST['room'];

$date = $_POST['date'];

$month = $_POST['month'];

$year = $_POST['year'];

$title = $_POST['title'];

$error = "";

if (empty($_POST['name']))

{

$error = $error."<br/><b><font color = 'red'>You must enter a name</b></font>";

}

if (empty($_POST['room']))

{

$error = $error."<br/><b><font color = 'red'>You must enter a room</b></font>";

}

if (empty($_POST['title']))

{

$error = $error."<br/><b><font color = 'red'>You must enter a title</b></font>";

}

if (empty($_POST['issue']))

{

$error = $error."<br/><b><font color = 'red'>You must enter a issue</b></font>";

}

if (empty($_POST['date']))

{

$error = $error."<br/><b><font color = 'red'>You must enter a date</b></font>";

}

if (empty($_POST['month']))

{

$error = $error."<br/><b><font color = 'red'>You must enter a month</b></font>";

}

if (empty($_POST['year']))

{

$error = $error."<br/><b><font color = 'red'>You must enter a year</b></font>";

}

if (empty($error))

{

$q = "INSERT INTO jobs (name, room, issue, date, month, year, title ) VALUES ('$name', '$room','$issue','$date','$month','$year','$title')";

$res = mysql_query($q) or die (mysql_error());

}

?>

Not trying to be insulting, but you are saving these with a .php file extension, right?

Ali25m · October 28, 2010
