I recently installed PHP on IIS/Windows 7, but it isn't working. I am getting the entire source file in the browser window.
FastCGI Settings shows c:\Program Files (x86)\PHP\php-cgi.exe Handler Mappings has
To answer the answer you gave one hour ago, which said (quoting) :
In some PHP hosts you can being a script block with
<?. In IIS the block must start with<?php.
That's not a setting of IIS ; that's a configuration option of PHP, which is called short_open_tag : if that configuration option is enabled, short tags (i.e. <?) will be accepted.
Using short open tags is often not considered as a good pratice, as they can be disabled -- and they are, by default, with recent versions of PHP -- but, if you are admin of your server, you should be able to re-enable them.
And, for information, they are also considered as "bad" because they can cause problem with XML files, which start with <?xml -- if short_open_tag is enabled, this will cause troubles, as it starts with <?
Enabling short_open_tag is just a matter of editing your php.ini file, and using
short_open_tag = On
Instead of
short_open_tag = Off
No need to edit/path all your PHP files ;-)
(Well, if you are admin of your server, that is...)
In some PHP hosts you can being a script block with <?. In IIS the block must start with <?php.
Needless to say, I'm going to be spending the resst of the day fixing all the script files I inherited.
echo phpinfo();work?echo phpinfo();, nothing happens. In fact, no matter what I type nothing happens.
