i want to use echo for writing… but it have troubles… when i do this:
1st sitehello
is shows hello, but when i do this:
1st site<?php echo "hello"; ?>
is shows nothing… what am i doing wrong?
just to clarify, is the file saved as a html or php?
.php
Just tested with this on my server and my php returned “hello” fine. have you done a phpinfo() to see if it’s turned on ok?
[php]
1st site<?php echo "hello"; ?>
what is a phpinfo()
where do i have to put that? and how can i see if it works?
can the problem be in this line?:
I’ve added the doctype to my file and it’s still working on my server. a phpinfo file is simply a test file to make sure php is switched on.
create a new file and you only need to add 1 line and save it as a .php file. then upload to your server and goto the page. If it outputs a lot of information regarding PHP 5.0 or not.
File code:
<?php phpinfo(); ?>i dont have a server, i make the file and open it with google chrome…
do you need a server to check your page?
yes, php files work better when hosted rather than opened locally.
ok ty, i saw i can maybe use localhost to look at it… the file is in C -> school -> site and its called index.php
what do i have to fill in my adresbar to look at the site?
if you mean http://localhost/ But you’d need a webserver installed locally to view it. Not sure there is another way round this.
ty, i installed xampp and it works now
