[PHP] Really easy question
How can i check to see if PHP has been enabled, I enabled the modules etc after they were compiled and i have managed to get Apache working properly again but now even when i do the basic tutorial stuff then I get a blank page rather than what I am supposed to get, the tutorial page is no help as all it says is see your network admin to get PHP enabled this is only on my home machine so I guess I am the network admin...kind of anyway...can someone please help... thanks very much biscut -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To contact the list administrators, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: [PHP] Really easy question
The easiest way is to create a simple page (called say test.php) with the following ?php phpinfo(); ? This should display a page with all sorts of information about your PHP, and serves as a good test as to whether or not PHP is working Good luck! Tom Carter Web Architect roundcorners ltd.

RE: [PHP] Really easy question
Thanks very much for your help on this, turns out there wasnt anything wrong with it, I was trying to view the page with Netscape 4.7 on hte Linux machine and getting blank pages, if I viewed it with IE 5.5 on a windows machine then everything works fine...I have no idea why this is happening but at least it works and I am not going completely mad...

Re: [PHP] Really easy question
create a new php file. If you call the function phpinfo(), you should get a bunch of useful information. If you're getting an error message complianing about PHP not being enabled, then check out your configuration file. I think there is an line something like enable engine. That might be turned off, but it should be on by default.

You probably forgot to close a table with the /TABLE tag. IE bends the rules a bit and allows that to be omitted, Netscape doesn't, and an unclosed table in Netscape is invisible. -dan -- If one synchronized swimmer drowns, do the rest have to drown too? -George Carlin -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To contact the list administrators, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
