This is my first time I use Filezilla and ftp. I uploaded my files.php. After I entered the hostname on address bar, I could see which files I had uploaded.
The interesting part comes here: When I clicked on index.php to view, It displayed only the html parts.
When I opened page source code, I saw that my php was commented, like this:
From what I had originally written:
<?php include '/includes/php/menu.php'; ?>
it became:
<!--?php include '/includes/php/menu.php'; ?-->
If anyone could help me I would appreciate it. Does any of the above has anything to do with host properties? From what I read, it supported php.
Your host may support php, but that does not mean that PHP is enabled. You can perform a very simple test to find out.
Create a file named test.php and drop one line of php in it and save it:
<?php phpinfo(); ?>
Upload the test.php file to the server and point your browser to it. It should output a bunch of information about the web server if PHP is working.
If not, check your host admin (cpanel) to see if you can enable it yourself. If you don't find it, just submit a ticket to have your host enable it.
PS: Remember to delete the test.php from your site as it is not great for security to leave it there.
UPDATE:
It sounds like you don't have Includes module installed. If you are using Apache, make sure the Apache Module mod_include. To check if you have the module installed you should create a file called phpinfo.php and upload to your server root and it should include the following code:
<?php
phpinfo();
?>
Then load phpinfo.php in your browser and mod_include should be included in the section Loaded Modules. It would be highly unusual if it wasn't there, as it is the default to have it installed on most Apache systems. If you are not on an Apache server, you can still follow the above instructions.
You can set the default editor to view/edit files under Settings->File Settings->Filetype Associations. An example using Notepad is below. There is also a box to inherit system filetype associations and I have it checked.
txt C:\Windows\System32\notepad.exe
php C:\Windows\System32\notepad.exe
I wanna thank all for your support. I am rather newbie in PHP and with you advice I have learnt a lot in the process. I have low rep so I can't give good rates to your answers.
The problem consisted in ftp, but later after changing some options in the host everything went OK. I guess working with PHP offline differs from online.
Thanks a lot everyone

I am trying to access
http://localhost/phpinfo.php
but I can't find a way to get there on the local machine I made the update on.
This is part of a FastCGI installation to Host PHP Applications on IIS 6.0.
I followed steps here: 'Test PHP CGI' in http://www.iis.net/learn/application-frameworks/install-and-configure-php-applications-on-iis/using-fastcgi-to-host-php-applications-on-iis-60
I copied phpinfo.php as indicated in the link above in the F:\Inetpub\wwwroot directory as indicated here http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms474356(v=office.12).ASPX
then tried to access
http://localhost/phpinfo.php
but I don't get anywhere (I get: 'The webpage cannot be found' error message).
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks,
Izumi.
You should be able to get all the information by saving a file with the following:
<?php
phpinfo();
?>
and simply view that page.
While you are testing, you can drop it anywhere you like, but obviously remove it from a production box as anyone will be able to see it.
I had to add the .php extension in the IIS Web Sites Properties as indicated here http://www.iis.net/learn/application-frameworks/install-and-configure-php-applications-on-iis/using-fastcgi-to-host-php-applications-on-iis-60 under 'MANUALLY CONFIGURE THE FASTCGI EXTENSION TO WORK WITH PHP'
I am not sure why the script didn't do it for me. Maybe because I had two domain names on that server.
Thanks for your help!

New to php and taking a class for it. Bought php6 and mysql 6 bible to get started. Of course the hello world script is the first you get and it doesn't show. It just reads part of my script and I'm not sure the problem. Link to test - http://harden6615.com/
I am using a hosted server I bought for class, but I have also check it using MAMP. I figured my script is wrong, but I have copied and pasted and still no Hello World. Any suggestions?
What I copied:
<?php
print("Hello, World<BR />\n");
phpinfo();
?>
Safe the file as index.php instead of index.html.
Checklist:
host allows PHP
file has .php extension
file was edited with a programmer's text editor (not word/wordpad under windows or TextEdit under Mac) because some encode <, > symbols when saving the file
Well actually it isn't, try to use just <?php phpinfo(); ?> If this doesn't show anything - take a look at your webhost if he supports php...
There are a few reasons why PHP may not be being executed.
The most basic error is saving the file as a .html file instead of .php. Make sure you use the correct extension on your file.
Next, make sure your webhost supports PHP. Most free hosts do not, so it's always a good idea to double-check.
There is nothing wrong with your code. If the above two solutions didn't help, try contacting your webhost and asking them why PHP isn't working for you.
I have to do a php project. I done php before so I understand the syntax for the most part. Just for a test, I made a file.php and in it I wrote:
<html>
<body>
<?php echo "helloWorld"; ?>
</body>
</html>
Well it won't display. The screen is blank. I tried it in chrome, firefox, IE and nothing wants to dispaly. Actually in IE, the source is displayed which is wierd. I also tried it without all the html and just used xampp to render it. It will not work. If I right click tho in the browser and view source, the code is there. Any ideas on what's going on?
Well, it comes from your web server configuration. If you're using Apache, have you enabled the mod-php module?
If you're new to setting up your own server, i would recommend using XAMPP (or WAMP), these are preconfigured PHP, Apache and MySQL servers.
If you're sure you have setup your server correctly check the following:
Make sure your executing your files from the server directory and NOT from a local directory. (your URL should look something like "http://localhost/test.php")
Note: You will need to phisically store the files in a place the apache server will look for, an example from XAMPP (on Windows, as thats what im assuming your using) is: "C:\xampp\htdocs"
Make sure your file ends in .php or something else that the Apache server will pickup as a PHP file. (.php3, .php4, etc)(make sure you didn't accidentally leave a .txt or something like that at the very end)
Check mod-php module is enabled (as Julien mentioned)
Hope that helps!
Edit:
Try
<?php
phpinfo();
?>
That as well, it should give you the php configuration information if the server is setup correctly.
EDIT2:
I see that you are using XAMPP, double check that the following file exists at the very least:
"C:\xampp\apache\conf\extra\httpd-xampp.conf", it loads the PHP module
I have Joomla installed in my computer, but recently have been writing php files that aren't related to the Joomla-managed site. For some reason, when I try to open those php files in the web browser using xampp (note: Joomla also is using xampp), the browser doesn't process the code w/in the tags as php code.
For example, after opening a basic page (a page with title "test", no content except in the body tags) in the web browser and going to the source code, the following is shows up in the source code:
<body>
<?php echo "hello"; ?>
</body>
instead of the HTML conversion. (i.e. just "hello")
Does anyone have an idea about what's going on here?
Thanks.
It's probably because PHP module isn't loaded in your apache. Be sure it is enabled
PHP is interpreted in the server, not the browser. Whatever's going wrong, you need to look at the SERVER side to resolve it.
My first guess: maybe you didn't suffix the file ".php" (so the server doesn't recognize it as a PHP file?)
Second guess: is the directory containing your PHP files configured to parse PHP?
If you have Joomla, you probably have PHP. You probably also have Apache.
So check your Apache configuration, and check your file naming conventions.
Is the file extension .php? The server doesn't magically know when you're serving php files, this is a good way to ensure it knows what you're doing.
Apache is looking into your localhost's defined root directory for files it can parse. In this case htdocs. This is the default for XAMPP. As far as Apache is concerned, it will not interpret any files outside of that folder.
if the problem in php module it better to re install php5 in to the system and it will work fine. probably the problem is in php module you should try re installing php in your system.
Just restart httpd service. It will work fine.
sudo systemctl restart httpd.service
if it has not worked please reinstall PHP once again.
I have an index.html in my wampserver www directory. On this html, there is a link for a user to upload file. When I hit the link, I select files to upload but instead of the uploadmanager.php which i have tested in my eclipse debugg environment to work, it displays the some part of the code on the web page without doing anything thing. This is not what I expect. Can someone please tell me what is wrong? Thank you.
sound like you are using php-short-open-tags (<? instead of <?php) without enabling this in your php.ini. change your php.ini or use the standart open-tags to solve this.
Are you sure you enabled PHP in WAMP?
Try creating a new uploadmanager.php file directly in wamp/www (or whatever subdirectory) and paste the code from your tested uploadmanager script into the new file. Then try to run it in WAMP.
I think it is a permissions problem. I copied an index.php file into a c:/wamp/www/subdirectory and it only displayed the code. Once I created a new index.php file and pasted the contents of the old file into it, it worked perfectly.
Are you posting to the uploadmanager.php page? Are you getting an error or just seeing the code? Can you post the code from the index.html page that handled the form and the part of the php code you're seeing for us to look at?
Every now and then I have Apache serving the .php as downloadable files instead processing them on the server, but only with random requests.
Some reasons, why this might happen, are
PHP misconfiguration
PHP-files in a directory without execute rights
wrong content type sent
timeout from script execution
In my situation the last bullet is the most dangerous, but luckily it seems to show up only immediately after modifying some of the .php files. I haven't tracked the problem any deeper yet, but it seems to relate some filesystem level operations (as the disk I/O is a bottleneck) and presents itself only in testing env.
