Newbie problem: PHP script not running in browser

Re: Newbie problem: PHP script not running in browser

I haven't seen wamp not work out of the box before, but I think the
first time you have to left click on the icon and select put online,
don't quote me on this though(may have been prior to 2). The icon
should not be yellow as it means something's not running. Do a regular
html page and see if you're seeing anything. Also make sure you're not
opening the file locally i.e. double clicking on it (really big hint,
if the url says file:// you are wrong). Beyond that I would say
reinstall but that's extreme

which icon to "left click on the icon and select put online"?

it is showing Joomla, drupal sites that I have downloaded under the same
www folder. it is showing entire php documentation, it is showing php
admin, allows me to create database, change priviledges, change
password, so I guess non-php part is working.

don't quote me on this though(may have been prior to 2). The icon
should not be yellow

which icon? the systray icon of wamp is not yellow. is white. goes to
red/ yellow when I stop all or some services.

as it means something's not running. Do a regular
html page and see if you're seeing anything. Also make sure you're not
opening the file locally i.e. double clicking on it (really big hint,
if the url says file:// you are wrong). Beyond that I would say
reinstall but that's extreme

yeah, I will reinstall but I wanted to understand the problem. if this
thread doesn't lead anywhere, I would.

thanks.

ok.. I see that above you posted the error log for when your apache
just starts. What shows up on the access and error logs when you try
to visit that page?

hi,
do you have error reporting turned on for PHP?
If not then please do.

It would be the same one where you stop/restart the services but if
you're seeing Joomla then something else is going on and I feel it's
something simple.

This looks good, but I suspect you have a syntax error somewhere.

In your php.ini file, ensure you have the following:

display_errors = on
error_reporting = E_ALL

I suspect once you turn these on, you'll find a syntax error.

If you're certain it's located in the right directory to be served:

I had a similar problem once when I copy/pasted a php line: The quotes
were unicode or something; deleted/replaced the quotes and it worked.

Just a beginner here, so; that's all I have<g>

That is leading somewhere.

display_errors was off so I switched that on

error_reporting was E_ALL & ~E_NOTICE & ~E_STRICT, so I made that
E_ALL

and switched on a few more error reportings that I could make out in
the nearby lines.

no luck, the screen is still blank.

but, php error log has following lines now that were not there
previously.

--start
[08-Aug-2008 04:10:11] PHP Notice: Undefined variable: mywampfp in E:
\wamp\scripts\r efresh.php on line 257
[08-Aug-2008 04:10:11] PHP Notice: Undefined variable: i in E:\wamp

[08-Aug-2008 04:10:11] PHP Notice: Undefined offset: 1 in E:\wamp
\scripts\refres h.php on line 390
--end

the area around line 257 in that file is:
--start
$phpConfText = ";WAMPPHP_PARAM SSTART
";
fwrite($mywampf p,$mywampini[$i]);
foreach ($params_for_wa mpini as $paramname=>$pa ramstatus)
{
if ($params_for_wa mpini[$paramname] == 1)
$phpConfText .= 'Type: item; Caption: "'.$paramname.' "; Glyph:
13; Action: multi; Actions: '.$phpParams[$paramname].'
';
else
$phpConfText .= 'Type: item; Caption: "'.$paramname.' ";
Action: multi; Actions: '.$phpParams[$paramname].'
';
--end

that fwrite() one is the line 257

and 390 is
--start
$mypattern = ';WAMPADDALIAS' ;
$newalias_dir = str_replace('.c onf','',$one_al ias);

$alias_contents = @file_get_conte nts ($aliasDir.$one _alias);
preg_match('|^A lias /'.$newalias_dir .'/ "(.+)"|',$alias _contents,
$match);
$newalias_dest = $match[1];

$myreplace .= 'Type: submenu; Caption: "http://localhost/'.
$newalias_dir.'/"; SubMenu: alias_'.str_rep lace(' ','_',
$newalias_dir). '; Glyph: 3
';
--end

that match[1] is line 390.

So, I hope that this all that is greek and latin to me is telling
something sensibly to you folks.

I swear that I haven't touched this file. I hadn't opened it, not even
knew about it. it is "as supplied" by install.

that might help us figger out the problem.

OK, what do you see if you view the document source?

In the Page Source in ff3, I get:

<html>
<head>
<title>PHP Test</title>
</head>

<?php echo 'Hello World'; ?>
</body>
</html>

Do you get PHP Test in your title bar?

Yes.

Yeah, it is hello.php.
