futuresounds Posted February 25, 2008 Share Posted February 25, 2008 I have a Windows 2003 Server with IIS6 and SP2. I installed PHP 5.2 from the zip. I followed the directions to a T and still getting errors. My page will display the actually script or code in the page instead of the HTML like it is supposed to. I also have MySQL 5.0 installed and not configured. I would love some pointers. I am trying to get a webdirectory installed on my PC called indexu. Here are some details. This is the page that is getting errors: http://www.futuresoundsstudios.com/links-directory/install/install.php This is the page that is stating it works, I'm confused: http://www.futuresoundsstudios.com/links-directory/install/test.php Any help would be great. Please let me know. Best Regards, Russell Moran Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/92897-php-script-displaying-not-the-html/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
GameYin Posted February 25, 2008 Share Posted February 25, 2008 The page getting errors, all I see is a whole crap load of PHP code. Did you start the <?php tag?

futuresounds Posted February 25, 2008 Author Share Posted February 25, 2008 GameYin, I am having a hard time replying, it tells me 403 error I must be logged in. I am logged in and now am on another PC. You can view the source I have, it's correct according to the author. Also, I attached the .PHP file on the first post. I can't insert it here as I'm on another PC. I will try later, until then, any suggestions?

PFMaBiSmAd Posted February 25, 2008 Share Posted February 25, 2008 The code that does not work is using short open php tags <? (and probably <?= ) instead of correct full open php tags <?php (and <?php echo ) If you do a "View source" in your browser you will see them. If you have access to the server to do so, you could turn on short open tags, but there is always a risk that on the next server you use you won't have the ability to change the setting. No script that is intended to be distributed should use short open tags. I recommend going through the files and change any <? to <?php and <?= to <?php echo Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/92897-php-script-displaying-not-the-html/#findComment-475929 Share on other sites More sharing options...
