What would cause a machine not to read/process php?
I have a laptop that I have been ever increasing using for php scripting. I
decided to do a simple experiment, it started out something like:
$seconds=1;
$minutes=$seconds*60;
$hours=$minutes*60;
$days="$hours*24;
echo $seconds;
echo $minutes;
echo $hours;
echo $days;
Nothing showed in the browser on my local server. I then tried various
changes, adding single quotes, double quotes, parenthsis, changing echo to
print....nothing.
Finally, after looking online and through a couples of books, I was able to
get this in the browser:
$minutes"; echo $hours; echo $days; ?>
I also got this in a browser (code not included in this post but you can see
how far back to the basics I went to get this to work).
Hello World'; echo "
$minutes
"; echo $hours; echo $days; ?>
When I sent the file over to my other computer...I got what I thought I was
going to get, numbers and calculations.
What would cause a browser to display the closing tags of php?
I dont know where to begin to look, could this be a setting in my editor
(Dreamweaver CS3), the testing server config file, the browsers?
Thanks for your help.
