[SOLVED] Why does this display incorrectly..

SirChick · August 17, 2007

For some reason it's displaying the php code and also using the html to change its colour:

<?


if($QuoteResult == 'Result: You search the train station from top to bottom and find $1!')
{
echo '<font style="font-size:16px" color="green" face="Arial">';
echo 'Result: You search the train station from top to bottom and find $1!';
echo '</font></div>';
}
elseif($QuoteResult == 'You failed to find any money, better try some other time!')
{
echo '<font style="font-size:16px" color="red" face="Arial">';
echo 'You failed to find any money, better try some other time!';
echo '</font></div>';
}
elseif($QuoteResult == 'Result: You search the train station from top to bottom and find $3!')
{
echo '<font style="font-size:16px" color="green" face="Arial">';
echo 'Result: You search the train station from top to bottom and find $3!';
echo '</font></div>';
}
elseif($QuoteResult == 'Result: You search the train station from top to bottom and find $5!')
{
echo '<font style="font-size:16px" color="green" face="Arial">';
echo 'Result: You search the train station from top to bottom and find $5!';
echo '</font></div>';
}
elseif
{
echo '<font style="font-size:16px" color="red" face="Arial">';
echo 'Server is having difficulties admin is working on it!';
echo '</font></div>';
}
?>

this is what i get as an echo on my page:

'; echo 'Result: You search the train station from top to bottom and find $1!'; echo '
'; } elseif($QuoteResult == 'You failed to find any money, better try some other time!') { echo ''; echo 'You failed to find any money, better try some other time!'; echo ''; } elseif($QuoteResult == 'Result: You search the train station from top to bottom and find $3!') { echo ''; echo 'Result: You search the train station from top to bottom and find $3!'; echo ''; } elseif($QuoteResult == 'Result: You search the train station from top to bottom and find $5!') { echo ''; echo 'Result: You search the train station from top to bottom and find $5!'; echo ''; } elseif { echo ''; echo 'Server is having difficulties admin is working on it!'; echo ''; } ?>

Try

<?php

....

?>

instead of

<?

....

?>

Orio · August 17, 2007

1) Try using full tags- instead of <? use <?php

2) Check if the extension is php.

3) Check if php is installed on the server.

Obviously the php isn't being processed. If you open the page's source you will see the full code.

Orio.

SirChick · August 17, 2007

same result.

it is .php lol

and it is loading php on server as i had to login to use the page that im pasting the code of here in order to test it (its using sessions)

Orio · August 17, 2007

Show the full code. I suppose $QuoteResult came from somewhere?

Orio.

SirChick · August 17, 2007

well it comes from 3 includes which are longgg scripts lol!

the code im showing you just echo's it however i needed to use php to echo it instead of html with a short tag because i needed the font to be either red or green depending on the $QuoteResult's string.

<html>
<body bgcolor="#466B98" text="#000000" style="scrollbar-face-color:#C8E8F8;scrollbar-arrow-color:#000000;scrollbar-3dlight-color:#C8E8F8;scrollbar-darkshadow-color:#404040;scrollbar-highlight-color:#E8F4FF;scrollbar-shadow-color:#40B0E8;scrollbar-track-color:#E8F4FF;">
<form name="" method="POST" action="" enctype="text/plain" id="Form1">
<input type="submit" id="DoCrime" name="Button1" value="Submit" style="position:absolute;left:365px;top:458px;width:150px;height:20px;z-index:0">

</form>

<?php
if (isset($_POST['DoCrime'])){
include("UnderBridgeCrimeScript.php");
}
?>


<div id="bv_" style="position:absolute;left:307px;top:348px;width:262px;height:64px;z-index:14" align="center">


<?php


if($QuoteResult == 'Result: You search the train station from top to bottom and find $1!')
{
echo '<font style="font-size:16px" color="green" face="Arial">';
echo 'Result: You search the train station from top to bottom and find $1!';
echo '</font></div>';
}
elseif($QuoteResult == 'You failed to find any money, better try some other time!')
{
echo '<font style="font-size:16px" color="red" face="Arial">';
echo 'You failed to find any money, better try some other time!';
echo '</font></div>';
}
elseif($QuoteResult == 'Result: You search the train station from top to bottom and find $3!')
{
echo '<font style="font-size:16px" color="green" face="Arial">';
echo 'Result: You search the train station from top to bottom and find $3!';
echo '</font></div>';
}
elseif($QuoteResult == 'Result: You search the train station from top to bottom and find $5!')
{
echo '<font style="font-size:16px" color="green" face="Arial">';
echo 'Result: You search the train station from top to bottom and find $5!';
echo '</font></div>';
}
elseif
{
echo '<font style="font-size:16px" color="red" face="Arial">';
echo 'Server is having difficulties admin is working on it!';
echo '</font></div>';
}
?>
</body>
</html>

you opening that file directly or including it ? or something else ?

does it display like that if you open it directly ?

have you tried another php file to check its not the server ?

SirChick · August 17, 2007

yeh i tried a complete different pc also. That file ^ is the display to the user. I removed some of the html which is like the menu which is just alot of href links over an image so i didnt paste it in cos its just guna be in the way.

<?php
if (isset($_POST['DoCrime'])){
include("UnderBridgeCrimeScript.php");
}
?>

this bit here includes the other .php which then has 2 includes in that and it chooses which include by using a rand feature.... i aint got it working yet... how ever... this would mean $ResultQuote = "" at the moment.

So my echo on that code provided above should display:

"Server is having difficulties admin is working on it!" which is this part:

elseif
{
echo '<font style="font-size:16px" color="red" face="Arial">';
echo 'Server is having difficulties admin is working on it!';
echo '</font></div>';
}

uwannadonkey · August 17, 2007

dunno, but shouldnt include have single quotes?

SirChick · August 17, 2007

all my other scripts use this structure:

include("homepage.php");

and works so i dont think it matters.

MadTechie · August 17, 2007

dunno, but shouldnt include have single quotes?

and why not ?

single and double quotes both have their uses.., i would probably used singles as well!

SirChick · August 17, 2007

but even if the include didnt work surely my if statements on the first post would load the last Else If because $QuoteResult would be blank....

just to add i put single quotes and no difference

SirChick · August 17, 2007

This is now in a separate file as test.php and i still get the same problem. The difference here is i set $QuoteResult in this and then seeing if it will find out which echo to display but it does the same as before.

<?php
$QuoteResult = 'Result: You search the train station from top to bottom and find $3!';

if($QuoteResult == 'Result: You search the train station from top to bottom and find $1!')
{
echo '<font style="font-size:16px" color="green" face="Arial">';
echo 'Result: You search the train station from top to bottom and find $1!';
echo '</font></div>';
}
elseif($QuoteResult == 'You failed to find any money, better try some other time!')
{
echo '<font style="font-size:16px" color="red" face="Arial">';
echo 'You failed to find any money, better try some other time!';
echo '</font></div>';
}
elseif($QuoteResult == 'Result: You search the train station from top to bottom and find $3!')
{
echo '<font style="font-size:16px" color="green" face="Arial">';
echo 'Result: You search the train station from top to bottom and find $3!';
echo '</font></div>';
}
elseif($QuoteResult == 'Result: You search the train station from top to bottom and find $5!')
{
echo '<font style="font-size:16px" color="green" face="Arial">';
echo 'Result: You search the train station from top to bottom and find $5!';
echo '</font></div>';
}
elseif
{
echo '<font style="font-size:16px" color="red" face="Arial">';
echo 'Server is having difficulties admin is working on it!';
echo '</font></div>';
}
?>

MadTechie · August 17, 2007

create a new file called phpinfo.php

containing (nothing more)

<?php
phpinfo();
?>

open the file directly what displays ?

if you see

<?php
phpinfo();
?>

then its a server problem

SirChick · August 17, 2007

PHP Version 5.2.2.

System Windows NT ASUSA7N266 5.1 build 2600

Build Date May 2 2007 19:17:46

Configure Command cscript /nologo configure.js "--enable-snapshot-build" "--with-gd=shared"

Server API Apache 2.0 Handler

etc

it loaded up my information from the server.

MadTechie · August 17, 2007

OK now open the file (directly) that displays the

<?php
$QuoteResult = 'Result: You search the train station from top to bottom and find $3!';

blar blar blar blar blar

it should say

Server is having difficulties admin is working on it!

or a blank screen

if so post the code you are using to include / display this file

if not and it displays

<?php
$QuoteResult = 'Result: You search the train station from top to bottom and find $3!';

if($QuoteResult == 'Result: You search the train station from top to bottom and find $1!')
{................ ..........

then can you attach that file to the next post

SirChick · August 17, 2007
