Quoting Bill Angus <mdangus@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>:
I have php installed and a working copy of phpMyAdmin, MySQL and
Apache2.0.58 on a windows2k box.
phpMyAdmin works fine, as do a couple of other php scripts. However,
when I go to try to code in php myself, I get a blank screen.
Make sure display_errors is turned on in php.ini (you may already have
it turned on, but the correct php.ini file isn't being read; see
below). There's probably an error in the script that isn't being
displayed.
I downloaded zend-studio to try to see if I could trace the fault
with my setup. The studio shows that I can do simple echo scripts
-- but that I get the following error when I try to connect to the
mySQL database
Debug Error: C:\Homepage\psychtest\private\search.htm line 13 - Call
to undefined function mysql_pconnect()
the following call (from your php tutorial) also returns nothing.
echo $_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT'];
The zend studio debugger returns the following message...
Notice: C:\Homepage\psychtest\private\search.htm line 10 - Undefined
index: HTTP_USER_AGENT
Am I supposed to insert a reference to a library of functions
somewhere at the start of my code?
I was able to enter phpinfo in the zend debugger, and I noticed that
the info returned was NOT the same as the settings in the php.ini
file in my C:/php/php.ini file.
The first thing I usually do after a new PHP install is create a page
that calls phpinfo, then browse to it. That page will tell you where
the php file is located from which it's obtaining its configuration.
On Windows servers, I usually set up a the PHPRC environment variable
to point to the php.ini file; take a look at this page (php manual):
http://us3.php.net/manual/en/install.windows.manual.php
Thanks in advance for any ideas or suggestions you can provide. Have
a great day!
Hope this helps,
Rick
