From: "Gary" on 24 Apr 2010 18:45 What would cause a machine not to read/process php? I have a laptop that I have been ever increasing using for php scripting. I decided to do a simple experiment, it started out something like: $seconds=1; $minutes=$seconds*60; $hours=$minutes*60; $days="$hours*24; echo $seconds; echo $minutes; echo $hours; echo $days; Nothing showed in the browser on my local server. I then tried various changes, adding single quotes, double quotes, parenthsis, changing echo to print....nothing. Finally, after looking online and through a couples of books, I was able to get this in the browser: $minutes"; echo $hours; echo $days; ?> I also got this in a browser (code not included in this post but you can see how far back to the basics I went to get this to work). Hello World'; echo " $minutes "; echo $hours; echo $days; ?> When I sent the file over to my other computer...I got what I thought I was going to get, numbers and calculations. What would cause a browser to display the closing tags of php? I dont know where to begin to look, could this be a setting in my editor (Dreamweaver CS3), the testing server config file, the browsers? Thanks for your help.

There's a double quote " right in front of the $hours variable on the fourth line. That's an unterminated string literal, a syntax error, which would cause PHP to abort entirely. Your php's error log probably has a message in it to this extent. The reason why you got a number of different results is probably because you added another double quote further down in later versions. But if that's somehow not it, post the entire source code of your file on a site like http://pastie.org/ so we can have a closer look. Michiel
From: "Gary" on 24 Apr 2010 20:24 Michiel Thank you for your reply, but that is not it. I took it down to <?php $seconds=1; echo $seconds; ?> Total code, and got nothing, blank screen. (this is just a silly exercise where I was going to input a date of birth and produce age in seconds) When I put the exact same code on my other machine, it showed numbers and calculations, most important, it showed something at all. This is an issue with configuration or settings somewhere, or perhaps my XAMPP is corrupt. Thank you for your reply.

From: Karl DeSaulniers on 24 Apr 2010 21:02 Hi Gary, It is probably because you have the file named .html and not .php. I took your code: <?php $seconds=1; echo $seconds; ?> and put it an a .html and .php file and put it on my server. With the.php file, I got a result of 1 for the .html file I got a blank screen.

From: "Gary" on 24 Apr 2010 21:30 Karl Thanks for your reply....that wasnt it. File was originated as a php file. So I have been playing with the experiment, and this is now the total code: <!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"> <head> <style type="text/css"> body { font-size:20px; } </style> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" /> <title>Time Experiment</title> </head> <form action="<?php echo $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'];?>" method="post"> I am <input name="age" type="text" /> years old.<br /><br /> <input name="submit" type="submit" value="submit" /><br /><br /> </form> <body> <?php $age=$_POST['age']; $seconds=1; $minutes=($seconds*60);//60 $hours=$minutes*60;//3600 $days=$hours*24;//86,400 //$days=$days; $months=$days*30;//2,592,000 $years=$months*12; $seconds_old=$years*$age; $seconds_old=number_format($seconds_old,0,'.',','); $years=number_format($years,0,'.',','); $days=number_format($days,0,'.',','); $months=number_format($months,0,'.',','); /*Interesting, when I had the number_format of days before the months, the math was wrong, it returned 2,592 turns out you must reverse the order of the second var for number_format*/ echo "There is $seconds in a second"; echo "<p>There are $minutes seconds in a minute.</p>"; echo "<p>There are $hours seconds in an hour.</p>"; echo "<p>There are $days seconds in a day.</p>"; echo "<p>There are $months seconds in a month.</p>"; echo "<p>There are $years seconds in a year.</p>"; echo "<p>You have lived about $seconds_old Seconds in your life</p>"; ?> </body> </html> And this code produces, on the good machine, the tower, this: I am years old. There is 1 in a second There are 60 seconds in a minute. There are 3600 seconds in an hour. There are 86,400 seconds in a day. There are 2,592,000 seconds in a month. There are 31,104,000 seconds in a year. You have lived about 0 Seconds in your life Same exact code that I just now sent over to the original "bad" machine, produces this: I am years old. There are $minutes seconds in a minute."; echo " There are $hours seconds in an hour. "; echo " There are $days seconds in a day. "; echo " There are $months seconds in a month. "; echo " There are $years seconds in a year. "; echo " You have lived about $seconds_old Seconds in your life "; ?> Same code, different machines, different results. Notice the closing ?> php tag is printed. Like I said, I dont know where to start to look. Thanks for your reply.
