ve been trying to make a server side site recently on Github but the php code will not run, I have put in a .htaccess but it still wont work, I was wondering if I need to put some library into it to interpret it but other peoples php codes seem to be working without anything like that. Any Ideas?
From https://help.github.com/articles/what-is-github-pages/:
GitHub Pages is a static site hosting service and doesn't support server-side code such as, PHP, Ruby, or Python.

m having a strange problem never faced it before and tried every thing and i mean everything but no luck at all.
What happened was i downloaded the application source code built on joomla 1.7 via ftp from the live server and deployed it on my localhost and configured it correctly. Now what happened is it displaying some sort of raw data all over the browser window, attached is the screenshot.
Please guys its been 5 days since i stuck in this mess any help will be highly appreciated
Thanks in advance
Maybe you have installed an extension, which supports distribution of PHP code as binary code? There exist different extensions to PHP, which support this kind of functionality. Probably the most widespread is Zend Guard. To execute a script which was encrypted by this software your PHP needs to load the free loader extension provided by Zend. If your server has loaded this extension and your localhost does not, the output might be something like you encounter.
Your first step should be to compare the output of phpinfo of both servers. If Zend Guard (or a similar extension) is loaded on your production server and not on your localhost, this might be the problem. Next step should involve taking a look at the PHP files and search for one which contains lots of unreadable characters. If this seems unreasonable to you, you might as well just install Zend Loader and see if it works then, which might be less work.
I am working with some code for uploading images to a server on android. I am working on my local xampp server. I do have Restler and PHP installed on it for REST services at the moment.
I was working modifying the code in this tutorial.
I installed an external jar file for the http client errors. But I cannot install coldfusion as it appears to require a commercial license of some sort and this is what this tutorial is using. As I said, most of the code is in that tutorial besides downloading the latest http client jar file here. What I'm really asking is what alternatives to this cfc function are there? And preferrably what php alternatives are there? Please let me know if I should clarify anything else. Thank You.
Cormac, the only ColdFusion consideration here is that the blogger uses a CFC as a web service within one of their Java classes (it's not great to have a dependency like that in there, but oh well). So what you're gonna need to do is to find out what that web service does, and roll your own. On the basis of the info you have given is, we can't tell you what the web service does... I recommend you touch base with the blogger and ask them. They'll almost certainly flick you the code, and then we can have a look at that if you need further help.
As in JSP we give "WAR" file to clients and it contains .class files and other configuration files but not the source code, is there any way, in PHP, to deliver the project (website) to client without giving them source code.
Facebook created a project called HipHop php, a php compiler.
See this post:
Can you "compile" PHP code?
Short answer, not really.
I mean you can compile php into a single .phar file however anyone with moderate php knowledge can get the code from that.
There are also solutions http://www.ioncube.com/ though I don't know how easily someone can get the code from it however I would strongly advise against any solution like this as they generally require the user of this "compiled" code to you their proprietary software to run it.
Please forgive the simplicity of this question. The answer will be obvious to many of you. But since I'm completely new to php and JSON, and I can't find a concrete answer on Google, I need to ask.
I have the following:
Client side Android app
mySQL database on server
JSON in between
The question is very simple. Where on the server do I put the php file? Any directory? A specific location? I just need a simple working answer. Not concerned about security or anything fancy at this stage. Please help.
Also, does anyone know of a very simple tutorial that talks about php, json, and working on the server side for someone like me who's completely new to it?
Your server must be available with a one of the given folders
public_html
www
htdocs
if any of the folder you can see in your server then this is the place where you need to place your php files

As long as the php file is accessible by http you are fine. So pretty much anywhere.
here is a tutorial. http://www.itnewb.com/tutorial/Introduction-to-JSON-and-PHP
To run your php script you will need an http server on your server that handles php script.
For example you can use the apache web server with mod_php. You then can put your php file in the server default web folder or configure another one.
I've decided to code some applications in PHP that are supposed to run offline in the user's machine. However, I can't seem to find an user-friendly install wizard to create a local server in where the script will run. Any ideas?
PS: Here's an example of what I want: http://www.nolapro.com
You could go to the old school route and try using PHP-GTK.
Text Tutorial here: http://www.kksou.com/php-gtk2/References/Compiling-standalone-PHP-GTK2-applications-on-windows-using-PriadoBlender.php
or you could go the route that I believe has much more promise: Adobe AIR + PHP
It has the added bonus of running on any platform!
Video tutorials here: http://www.vtc.com/products/Adobe-AIR-PHP-Development-Tutorials.htm
There's also a new player in the game, Appcelerator. It lets you write your code in whatever language you want (PHP, Ruby, Python, etc) and compile it for the platform of choice (iPhone, Android, Windows, OSX). Parts of it are still beta, but it looks unbelievably slick & cool, and there are lots of tutorial videos. http://www.appcelerator.com
I hate to advocate this, because it just feels so wrong. You would probably be better off using a language inteded for use for stand-alone applications, if you're going to be doing this often or in a production setting.
With that said, a colleague of mine used to use the Bambalam PHP to EXE Compiler for this. He actually had a profitable product built around it.
Bambalam will generate an EXE that doesn't rely on any external DLLs, based on your PHP code.

If you have a webapp written, you maybe want to deploy on client, a possible way is use wapache, which is a standalone apache bundled with your application, and an integrated (IE) browser control inside.
http://wapache.sourceforge.net/
A new feature of PHP 5.4 & 6 can help you, the builtin web-server.
http://php.net/manual/en/features.commandline.webserver.php
With this feature you can host locally your php app without external webserver, and access on localhost.
If you really talking about a client application you are really wrong to do this.
If you want to wrap a server + browser to deploy your web based application so it runs local you might check out three options:
1) Deploy a simple webkit browser (you can get a QT Webkit Browser in 30 lines of code) and an apache server that is installed somewhere standalone (not via the apache control script as this uses port 80 and i probably conflicts with another installed webserver.
2) Look at the Firefox PRISMA solution. I have read about this only in a news article but it wrapps the firefox around one single start URL. You have to deploy a webserver in the same way as
3) Try to wrap it as a HTA application. Search the corresponding info on MSDN.
I would prefer (1) as you can add special application interacting code as needed.
