fire3 Posted August 8, 2007 Share Posted August 8, 2007 Hi I recently have begun a new job and before this one I have worked with PHP5, this companies intranet runs PHP4 but no one knows if it is even properly set up. I just set up little test page with this script: <html> <title>test page</title> <body> Hello World <?php echo 'hello world'; ?> </body> </html> What it displays is just the first 'Hellow World' but not the second, the php is obviously registering since nothing is being displayed (if i make a slight change it will print "echo 'hello world';". Does this mean that PHP is not properly installed or is there another reason for this?

Orio Posted August 8, 2007 Share Posted August 8, 2007 Hmm first make sure its a .php file. Then if thats not the problem, try creating a php file containing the line: <?php phpinfo(); ?> See if you get output. No output- no php probobaly, contact the server admin. Yes output- you have php... Orio. Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/63956-new-job-php4-help/#findComment-318783 Share on other sites More sharing options...
lemmin Posted August 8, 2007 Share Posted August 8, 2007 the php is obviously registering since nothing is being displayed That isn't true. Most likely, if you 'View Source' on the rendered page, you will see the php line in the source. It isn't being displayed because it is being seen as an html tag (starts with < and ends with >.)

fire3 Posted August 8, 2007 Author Share Posted August 8, 2007 It just occured to me that I had forgot to end with the suffix .php, sorry its been awhile... BUT after doing that it saves as a text document and is in localhost as test.php.text. Does this mean php is not installed properly?

hostfreak Posted August 8, 2007 Share Posted August 8, 2007 What editor are you using? Make sure when you save it, it is just .php Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/63956-new-job-php4-help/#findComment-318802 Share on other sites More sharing options...
lemmin Posted August 8, 2007 Share Posted August 8, 2007 That is the text editor doing that. Just rename the file using explorer. Make sure "Hide file extentions for known file types" isn't on. (or whatever it's called) Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/63956-new-job-php4-help/#findComment-318831 Share on other sites More sharing options...
