Need help, not sure what is wrong.

I am trying to create a very basic object but am having troubles.

 

<?php

class item{

public $name;
public $price;

function __construct($name,$price){
$this->name=$name;
$this->price=$price;}

function getName(){
return $this->name;
}

}


$object = new item("car",400);
echo $object->getName();


?>

 

The HTML output is:

 

name=$name; $this->price=$price;} function getName(){ return $this->name; } } $object = new item("car",400); echo $object->getName(); ?>

 

 

I'm sure that this code is clean but for some reason will not output the desired result! any help would be great. thanks.

That code is fine. The problem is the PHP in the file is not getting executed and is instead being returned to the browser without being processed.

 

Are you loading the file in your browser directly? If so, you need to be "requesting" the file via a web server that has PHP installed and enabled. If that is what you are doing, does the file have an appropriate extension (i.e. 'php') that the web server has been configured to process for PHP scripts?

I was using Xamp and now Wamp,  I was running the files from the htdocs folder, Is there a better way to test my files?? thanks.

Are you sure you put it in the right directory? My WAMP uses the www directory for its stuff. Make sure your server is online, and you should be able to click on the icon in the tray and select wwwFolder, and that should take you to your root web directory.
