fert Posted December 2, 2006 Share Posted December 2, 2006 I have a PHP file that contains code like this:[code]echo "<form method=\"post\" action=\"index.php\" name=\"post\">";echo "<textarea rows=\"5\" cols=\"30\" name=\"text\"></textarea>";echo "<p><input type=\"submit\" value=\"Save\"></p></form>";[/code]But when i try to run it i get a blank page and it's not because the code has errors it. How can i fix this? Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/29264-apache-wont-parse-php-files/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
wildteen88 Posted December 3, 2006 Share Posted December 3, 2006 You will need to configure Apache to parse PHP files with the PHP Interpreter. What is the current state of Apache's configuration?

steviewdr Posted December 5, 2006 Share Posted December 5, 2006 Try this on its own:[code]<?phpecho "<form method='post' action='index.php' name='post'>";echo "<textarea rows='5' cols='30' name='text'></textarea>";echo "<p><input type='submit' value='Save'></p></form>";?>[/code]I hope you are putting the <?php and ?> tags? Also you need to check your apache logs for errors etc.Also - try viewing the webpage with a different browser.-steve Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/29264-apache-wont-parse-php-files/#findComment-135378 Share on other sites More sharing options...

wildteen88 Posted December 6, 2006 Share Posted December 6, 2006 There is an error and its to do with line2:$var=$_GET[var];You should put the key in quotes if its a string. Otherwise PHP will think you're using a constant. Also if you key is also a reserved keyword and you're not putting it in quotes then you'll get an error/blank page! In your code [b]var[/b] is a reserved keyword and PHP is getting confused.So line 2 should be like this:[code=php:0]$var=$_GET['var'];[/code] Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/29264-apache-wont-parse-php-files/#findComment-136289 Share on other sites More sharing options...

remmargorp Posted December 7, 2006 Share Posted December 7, 2006 Wouldn't you want to change all $var's to $test1 in your example code?I have added test code for you to try out[code]<html><body><a href="document.php?test=10">Click Link</a><br><br><?php$sSelf = $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'];echo $sSelf . "<br>\n";$sTest = $_GET['test'];echo $sTest . "\n";?></body></html>[/code]Run the test code above, change document.php to whatever the document name is (so you can click the link to set test to equal 10).Should output this (when viewing source) when test = nothing:[code]<html><body><a href="document.php?test=10">Click Link</a><br><br>document.php<br></body></html>[/code]Should look like this (when you view source) when you click the link:[code]<html><body><a href="document.php?test=10">Click Link</a><br><br>document.php<br>10</body></html>[/code]Give the source and content of the page when you load it, then when you click the link.
