[SOLVED] Testing Tutorial on Apache VS. Server... 5.2 VS 4.4.4?

[suttercain]

Hi Everyone,

 

I just installed WAMP and trying to learn "Classes." I went to the phpfreaks tutorials sections and used this code:

 

<? 
include "php.php";

$myclass = &New MyClass;

$myclass->email = "yousomewhere.com";

$check_email = $myclass->check_email();

if(!$check_email){
    echo "The email address is not valid!";
} else {
    echo "The email address is valid!";
}

?>

 

This is my thing. When I run it on my localhost using PHP 5.2 and view it via Firefox I get this:

email = "you@somewhere.com"; $check_email = $myclass->check_email(); if(!$check_email){ echo "The email address is not valid!"; } else { echo "The email address is valid!"; } ?>

 

But when I upload it on my server which is running PHP 4.4.4 the script works fine and I get this:

The email address is valid!

 

Is it a 4.4 VS 5.2 issue? Is it an Apache issue? Any help would be great. Thanks ladies and gentleman.

 

Shannon

Does your local server have short php tags turned on...I don't think it is by default, so you would have to change it in php.ini?  Change the "<?" to "<?php" and see if you get the same result.
