This is not just plain conversion from one characterset to another? (in
which case you could proabbly use iconv()).

no he should not. this resides within the php5.load file.
He must symlink his files.
Debian does not utilize httpd.conf for any specific reason since apache2, it's
just there for compability reasons

I can't get my LAMP server setup to run PHP script.
As returned by apache2ctl, I am running;
Apache/2.2.4 (Debian) PHP/5.2.3-1+b1
I point my browser to;
http://localhost/apache2-default/test.php
The file test.php contains this code;
<html><body>
<h1>PHP Test</h1>
<br />
<?php print "Hello World!"; ?>
</body></html>
The browser outputs only;
PHP Test
Check in your httpd.conf that you have all of the following:
LoadModule php5_module modules/libphp5.so
AddHandler php5-script php
AddType text/html php
Make sure they're in there and uncommented. And that you restart httpd.

Oh, right--Debian. My bad.

Doesn't the manual tell you:

Yep. If you're using XHTML you have no other option.

I use the PHP/HTML mix - seems to make it easier for me to use apache
language-negotiation. My PHP code is language-neutral, my HTML files
aren't.

eval() is my favorite templating engine.

Yep. If you're using XHTML you have no other option.
If you're parsing XHTML that is choking on any instances of "<%" then
you've got a problem with your script. The point of including PHP tags
inside of an "XHTML" file is that it isn't really XHTML until PHP has
parsed it for its own instructions. Until then, it isn't XHTML yet and
shouldn't be treated as such. If you've some need to treat the raw files
as XHTML on the server *before* it reaches PHP then you're doing
something wrong.

You make it sound as if you've saved yourself having to type 2
characters. If you're using Zend or a template engine and your scripts
do not contain anything other than PHP then you *should not* include the
closing tag. It's not really a choice (well, it is, but you run the risk
of creating difficult-to-track bugs).
It all depends on the context. For example:
Say i turn an existing HTML file into a PHP script and add some
instructions somewhere within the middle of the body. Of course i'm
going to have to use a closing tag somewhere before the next bit of HTML
markup. But i certainly don't care that my script *requires* that i use
that closing tag. I don't think, "Gee, i wish i didn't have to put this
closing tag here."
> Code that contains short open tags or instances of <?= is amatuer in
> my opinion.
Amateur? I agree that short open tags should be avoided but i don't see
anything wrong with using the <?= ?> construct. When a full-blown
templating engine is not available it can be a huge help to break down
pages into seperate portions, each containing instructions for the PHP
engine to fill in. Got a script that displays a form on one request and
something different on another? It's easy to simply include() the
necessary HTML part from another file, complete with <?= ?> instances
to fill in the stuff you want PHP to gather.
Hence, a poor man's template. I open the file and see an HTML form and
can follow it easily. I don't have to wade through a bunch of heredoc
blocks in the main script. Instead, the script where i'm doing all the
heavy lifting is empty of presentational markup that would only get in
the way.
I find it amusing when people go on and on about keeping their PHP
instructions out of the markup yet have no qualms about doing precisely
the opposite. Six of one ...
It's a matter of determining what is the model and what is the view and
how best to create an application structure.
And using echo or heredoc to create HTML usually creates unreadable
markup, IMO. That may not matter to some but for those of us who are
responsible for ensuring pages validate it certainly helps when your
editor of choice (i use jEdit) can highlight the syntax--both PHP and
HTML--properly. Markup stuck in a heredoc (or ~shudder~ a thousand echo
statements) isn't so easy on the eyes.
In these "templates"i use, aside from filling in spots with <?= $my_var
?> i may also have the odd loop to iterate over a database result. Not
so different from XSL, in fact. But i don't have all of the DB queries,
checking of credentials, class definitions (yes, i've seen it: classes
defined in the same 10,000-line script that the browser requests) inside
of that file. It wouldn't be anything remotely similar to a template then.
There's certainly a case to be made for ensuring that scripts follow
certain guidelines but to assert that there is *one* proper way for all
cases seems a bit off to me. Use what works, makes sense, and is *safe*
within *your* workflow.
Just thought i'd add something to get the discussion going beyond, "Me
too! That way is teh suxxor." ;-)

Hi,
I think I am having an unusual problem - don't know where I am going wrong.
This is the code that I use to display the page once the user is logged in.
I want to display a Logout link so the user can logout. But, for some
reason, I am unable to display both the welcome message and the Logout link
simultaneously unless I insert the line <p><a href =
"something.htm">hi</a></p> on top and below the welcome line. Without this
line only Logout (without the link) is displayed. What am I doing wrong?
<?php include 'accesscontrol.php'; ?>
<html>
<head>
<title> Members-Only Page </title>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type"
content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1
</head>
<body>
<p><a href = "something.htm">hi</a></p>
<h1>Welcome, <?=$username?>! </h1>
<p><a href = "something.htm">hi</a></p>
<p><a href = "logout.php">Logout</a></p>
</body>
</html>
Thanks,
Su

Your meta tag is not closed (the attribute quote isn't even closed).
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type"
content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1" />
Additionally, don't put spaces around the "=" in your tags.
