Why is WAMP?

[Luke]

Hi
I've set up WAMP to develop my site offline, and i've put the usersystem on, and it's displaying like this

Any ideas?

[L?KE]

That's nothing to do with WAMP, probs your code.

[Luke]

no, because it works fine on a hosting account

In the task tray, what does the WAMP logo like? PHP might not be turned on.

It could also be the fact that you've used shorthand tags "<?" and the server has them disabled, but I'm going to say edgates is probably more along the lines of the problem.

You viewing on ur localhost?

[Luke]

ok, the wamp light is white, yes i'm viedwing on localhost, but i've also tried viewing on http://*IP*

Is there a way that i can enable <? tags, since it would take years to cahnge them all lol

Thanks
Luke

In php.ini you'll have a line with
short_open_tag = Off now it will either be Off or On, change it accordingly. It's located in your php folder, but sometimes the server puts them in other places (XAMPP puts a copy in apache\bin for example) so use phpinfo and find "Loaded Configuration File".

short tag thing worked a treat ;)
Didn't work but then restarted php and it did :P

TY verymuch

That's interesting.. I used to have that problem, i couldn't use <?, not that i do anymore anyway, but i have no experience with the php.ini file.

+rep if i can for pointing it out

[Iszak]

Yeah, well they can cause conflicts with XML e.g. "<?xml version="1.0"?>" so it is often best to have it off. Of course the work around is to simply get PHP to echo that, personally I just stick with <?php tags as <? seems to be depreciated. Anyhow glad I could help both of yous in some way or form.

You should really have learnt about short tags, and how to control your PHP configuration.

PHP short tags are usually set to Off as a default.

I have never altered php.ini in my life because i used wamp for like a week and that was when i could barely code...

Also only the server admin can edit the configuration, and i have always been on shared hosting.

So, er yeh ;)

Ah, fair enough.
