Ok.
Just tested this on another machine as well, and I now see if I go to the
phpInfo link on the WAMP server homepage on either machine it does seem to
work, but not in my own pages.
Also, rechecked on both machines, and I actually noticed that the very first
line:
<? php session_start(); ?>
does in fact seem to be being processed/disappears, but the rest of the php
code is still rendering unprocessed in those pages, so who knows.
Maybe I should actually send some of you my actual page file in case there's
something strange therein that I'm not noticing - who knows.
Stay well

Ok.
Been trying out various things including double-checking if my error
display
settings were there etc. etc., and finally sort of figured out what was
going wrong when I eventually saved the output of main.php from internet
explorer after it was still not showing any output, and then I sort of
discovered that for whatever reason, the PHP code isn't actually being
interpreted/processed since it still shows up in the html source thereof.
FWIW, here's the complete source code of that main.php file (as it
appears
when I edit it, or when I save it from IE):
<?php session_start(); ?>
<!doctype html public "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 //EN">
<html>

<body>
<? php

echo "What the hell!?!?!?";
?>
</body>
</html>
Anyideas (and FWIW, I have tried changing various small things, but who
knows...)?

Installed the full WAMP server configuration after I was encountering
problems with the PHP add-on for IIS, and I now simply stop IIs, then start
WAMP, and FWIW, I literally installed it on the second machine right now to
try this out, but, like I said, it also seems to have a problem of sorts.
Strangest thing is that while the installed page for PHPInfo works, it won't
even work in one of my own pages that has it in.
FWIW, I have WAMP server v.2.0 - AFAIK the latest version so I don't think
the problem is actually therein.

looks tome as if php is not correctly installed
how did you install it?
zip or msi?
ISAPI filter or the cgi option?

Nope.
Also tried that one, and not just in that page. Wherever I put it
(except I
haven't tried it in the 'working' index.php yet) it also returns nothing.
Just strange that the first page (index.php) still processes the logon
entries in that form, and spits out the required javascript to then take
you
to the page that does nothing. Have tried various combinations of F5,
Ctrl
+ F5 etc. to make sure that it's not just a client-side cacheing doing
something, so who knows.

Ok.
That seems to have fixed it (on at least one of the machines)
Thanks.
S'pose that's one of the irritations when using a screenreader since I
suppose I ass-umed that it didn't make a difference, and my screenreader
reads the different versions in exactly the same way.
Thanks again, and let's now see if I can come right further on.
Stay well

I don't know if im getting you well, and maybe this was an error on the
email and not in your code but.....
this, i think should be like:
<?php
echo "admin?: " . $_SESSION["admin"] . "<br />";
echo "What the hell!?!?!?";
?>
Note the space between <? and 'php' in your code.....

No longer really relevant, but FWIW, my files are in a subfolder of
C:\WAMP\www, and like I said, it was in fact processing index.php, but not
all the code in main.php and they are in the same folder.

Hi,
the second tag has a space between "<?" and "php" making it invalid as
a starting php tag. That would explain why it's not being processed

Thanks.
Yes, we figured that one out.
Like I said earlier, the problem is that I basically didn't realise the
difference since my screenreader software doesn't read those two versions
differently, so, to be honest, I hadn't realised it was a problem.
Stay well

Or, more precisely, *trying* to install it.
The "Previously" part of my tale can be found here:
forums.iis.net/t/1147538.aspx
in a post on the IIS.NET forums.
To make a long and circumstantial story short, I currently have
installed:
- IIS7
- PHP 5.2.5, non-thread-safe version
- the FastCGI technical preview
When I was looking at these instructions
blogs.iis.net/bills/archive/2007/05/19/how-to-install-fastcgi-and-php-on-iis7-beta-3-video.aspx
I noticed that everything Bills mentioned looks like what I have, except
in
applicationhost.config under
<location path="Default Web Site">
<system.webServer>
I also have:
<handlers accessPolicy="Script, Execute, Read">
<remove name="PHP" />
<add name="PHP" path="*.php" verb="*" type=""
modules="IsapiModule" scriptProcessor="C:\php\php5isapi.dll"
resourceType="File" requireAccess="Script" preCondition="" />
</handlers>
which Bills doesn't mention. So I backed IIS and this file up, and then
deleted those lines, in the spirit of scientific enquiry and hitting
stuff
until it works.
Now:
1. Static .php pages appear just fine -- that is, an "index.php" page
with
only HTML, no actual PHP scripting.
2. I don't get an error message when I run phpinfo() or other
actively-scripted pages -- but I don't see anything else, either. It's
all
a blank.
I assume that the problem is the lack of a PHP handler with "Execute",
but I
have no idea what to call it or where to put it.

I have a similar issue. We copied a PHP installation that was
successful on Windows 2000 to a 2003 server. Although it works fine on
2000, it won't load any of the extensions on 2003. I've checked the
.ini file and the extensions are definitely uncommented, the
extension_dir setting is correct, I've included c:\php in the path. PHP
works (as phpinfo() runs) but extensions don't load. A couple of things
I've noted that are different on this server (in case it's related):
- if I use cgi-win.exe, php pages won't load so have to use
phpisapi5.dll
- in phpinfo, the ini file path shows as C:\Windows instead of c:\php
even though there is no php.ini file in that folder
Can anyone help??

Bruce

Evening.
I've installed the latest PHP using the zip files (not the installer)
to my
Windows 2003 machine with IIS. I have tested the installation with a
phpinfo() and was successful. I installed Roundcube and when trying
to
connect to the site was greeted with an error about being unable to
connect
to the database. I rechecked my connection string and all seemed
well.
Figuring I'd come back to it later, I went to install Joomla and during
the
install process was told that Joomla is unable to connect to MySQL.
I have checked and rechecked my php.ini file (though I may be missing
something not obvious)
PHP in general works.
My system PATH is configured for C:\php and I have restarted several
times
I've even redownloaded the php zip files and compared the md5 to make
sure
it was not corrupt.
MySQL is active and working on localhost for an email server without
any
issue.
Have tried both mysql.dll and mysqli.dll
I have searched Google with out any success.
Is this something with PHP or my MySQL install? I'm out of ideas.
Patrick
