php help [login and registrations] onto website

The Saint · August 2, 2007

Alright, Here's the problem I have that I've asked 10 people on Websites,Myspace,Instant Messengers, & Ect. The were just too advanced and confused me ALOT.

So I was wondering if someone could help me with my problem and simplify it too a certain level where I Don't get mixed up.

Alrighty, So here it is. I have made a website that is currently being worked on OFF LINE. I have Only downloaded WAMP5 SERVER. I followed a tutorial that can be found <a href="

I made a PHP Registration Successfully. I tested it out, the information WAS saved to my database and i could see it in the table. Great. The Way i viewed the registration page is I type in LOCALHOST and then i clicked SaintsProject [Name of Website] Under YOUR PROJECTS. Once the page loaded in h1 font displayed Index of /Saintsprojects then i saw register.php. Clicked it and it loaded and it works. Now i went into my WWW Files. Then Into Saints Project. I saw "register.php". Right-Clicked it, then Clicked Edit. I Copied the source. Went into my website, Edited the login.html pasted the source of register.php into it. I preview it and this is what i found...

Someone please explain to me what errors i made and this is the preview of register.php from the wamp server documents....

This one works^ Why arent they identical?

Is the first one a .html file?

yea it is

Well there you go.

If you want your PHP to process, it has to be a .php file.

ive made attempts to change it but im not quite shure how

soycharliente · August 2, 2007

Are you serious? You don't know how to turn it into a .php file?

Save As -> whatever.php

You can right-click on the file and go to 'Rename' and just change the extension to .php

Also, the case may be that you've pasted this code in there incorrectly. Looks to me like it's reading it as text. Be sure you have <?php ?> enclosing it plus make sure all your double and single quotes are in line. Otherwise it will just look like a mess.

soycharliente · August 2, 2007

That's really weird.

So the file is called whatever.php? Can we see some of the code?

simcoweb · August 2, 2007

Yeah, ditto that. Please post all the code and make sure you use the

 tags so we can see it clearly.

EagleAmerican · August 2, 2007

Is PHP installed on your system? It's not on mine and that's why I use my host for testing.

teng84 · August 2, 2007

LOL you kill those guys LOL

You can install something like XAMPP which is what I use. It's a suite of server related software such as Apache/PHP/MySQL. Works great on my machine without interrupting anything else.

lol

btw i look at the pic you post the location is document and setting the php should be run on your local host if its where the php is located

hmm

does it make sense

simcoweb · August 2, 2007

I think what teng is saying is that normally you would view the page by typing an address similar to:

http://localhost/folderwherethepageis/nameofpage.php

The Saint · August 2, 2007

What we're saying is that for your server software you've installed to parse the PHP pages or the HTML pages properly it would typically require that you place them into a specific location like I pointed out. In other words, just because you've installed this server software, wampserver, doesn't mean that the pages will run properly from any location on your computer. The pages must be placed within the wampserver directory on your hard drive. Now, i'm not that familiar with that program since I don't use it. But using the basic laws of reason they all work primarily the same since it's the same server software as the others but packaged a bit different. So, read the instructions on where to place your files in order for them to parse properly. What you're showing us with all that text instead of hidden code usually means you're trying to view it 'outside' the realm of your server software. Make sense?
