    Script 1.5 showing PHP code

    in PHP and MySQL for Dynamic Web Sites: Visual QuickPro Guide (4th Edition)

    Posted

    Hi Paul I do get the php information page. Apparently I am back to having the same problem again but this time with script 2.1 and 2.2. I get the form to work fine just by opening it up in the browser (chrome) and the address is written as:

     

    file:///C:/xampp/htdocs/form.htm

     

    and then when i click submit it displays as:

     

    Thank you $name for the following comments:

    $comments

    We will reply to you at $email.

    \n"; ?>

     

     

    With the address as:

     

    file:///C:/xampp/htdocs/handle_form.php

     

    I know php files need to be run through the server (where the address begins with http://), but I do not know how to do that or if it should just happen automatically. This issue has been holding me up for a few days and preventing me from continuing. Any help would do. Thanks

    Script 1.5 showing PHP code

    in PHP and MySQL for Dynamic Web Sites: Visual QuickPro Guide (4th Edition)

    Hello all,

     

    I apologize in advance if this is not the correct topic for this question but i did not want to start up a new one.

     

    I am having some issues with the scripts starting at script 1.5.

     

    Up until this point everything was working fine. I have downloaded XAMPP, PHP Designer (as my IDE). Like i stated earlier whenever i try to run script 1.5 i get the output that looks like this:

     

    You are running the file:

    $file.

     

    \n"; ?>

     

    This is my code (i left out the other two vars in the script as a test):

     

    <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="en" lang="en"> 
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />
<title>Predefined Variables</title>
</head>
<body>
<?php #Script 1.5 - predefined.php
$file = $_SERVER['SCRIPT_FILENAME'];

//print the name of this script
echo "<p>You are running the
file:<br /><b>$file</b>.</p>\n";
?>
</body>
</html>

     

     

    Any ideas to what could possibly going wrong?

     

    Thanks to anyone who can offer some advice.
