Practical PHP - Simple OOP site wont render in browser

[fersick]

I have been working through the text book. Practical PHP by Paul Hudson.

 

The chapter on creating a simple OOP site. wont render in a browser. I have written the code out get not errors in the debugging console i see my rendered HTML code in the console. But in a browser i get code 

 

setPage($page); $content = <<setContent($content); $site->render(); ?>

 

 

 

 

These are the files i have written

 

index.php

<?php
include 'stdlib.php';

error_reporting(E_ALL);
  ini_set('display_errors', 1);

$site = new csite();

// This is a function specific to this site!
initialise_site($site);

$page = new cpage("Welcome to my site!");
$site->setPage($page);

$content = <<<EOT

Welcome to my personal web site! 
EOT;

$page->setContent($content);

$site->render();
?>

 I feel it has something to do with the EOT reference, as the code surrounding the EOT is what is outputted in browser.

 

 

 

stlib.php

<?php
function __autoload($class) {
	include "$class.php";
}

function initialise_site(csite $site) {
	$site -> addHeader("header.php");
	$site -> addFooter("footer.php");
}
?>

 

 

 

csite.php

 

<?php
class csite {
	private $headers;
	private $footers;
	private $page;

	public function __construct() {
		$this -> headers = array();
		$this -> footers = array();
	}

	public function __destruct() {
		// clean up here.
	}

	public function render() {
		foreach ($this->headers as $header) {
			include $header;
		}

		$this->page->render();

		foreach ($this->footers as $footer) {
			include $footer;
		}
	}

	public function addHeader($file) {
		$this -> headers[] = $file;
	}

	public function addFooter($file) {
		$this -> footers[] = $file;
	}

	public function setPage(cpage $page) {
		$this -> page = $page;
	}

}
?>

 

 

cpage.php

 

<?php
class cpage {
	private $title;
	private $constant;

	public function __construct($title) {
		$this -> title = $title;
	}

	public function __destruct() {
		// clean up here
	}

	public function render() {
		echo "<H1>{$this->title}</H1>";
		echo $this -> content;
	}

	public function setContent($content) {
		$this -> content = $content;
	}

}
?>

 

 

header.php and footer.php are just basic HTML code.

Seems like you don't have PHP installed. Are you making sure to run the file through a web server? Your browser should not have anything like "file://" in the address bar but look like a normal URL.

I'm running code from my htdoc folder in xampp using localhost or 127.0.0.1

Do a View Source of the page. See your PHP code? That means PHP isn't running your script. Are you using a .php file extension?

All files have .PHP as the extention. I'm on my phone qtm. Will check the source code tomorrow when I'm at my pc
