RE: Shows code instead of info when calling PHP from Ajax

["Andy Stratton" <astratton@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Another thing I would check into, which may or may not be the case, is
whether or not you have open_short_tag = On|Off in your php.ini

If you have it off and are using short tags, this may be the case.

Could also be as simple as not having the <?php   ?php> tags? You  
mentioned having your code "checked" but I'm not sure what you mean  
by that. If you're saying that you can run the script directly but it  
fails when called via Ajax you're off my chart.

Unless it's getting passed to a different instance of the apache  
server or somehow the tag is getting the browser to try and parse the  
file directly rather than handing it to the apache server process  
i.e. make sure references are explicitly "http://...";
