Topic: phpinfo not showing result

[cjagdish69]

I have installed OpenSuSE 10.3. While installation i have selected php/mysql/apache also.

They are installed in my machine.
Php5-5.2.4-11
mysql-5.0.45-22
apache2-2.2.4-10
are the versions installed on my machine.

now in a user called "mohan" i have created a file called "test.php" as follows :
<?
phpinfo();
?>

and i am trying to invoke this file in firefox(2.0.0.6) but i am not getting the output of phpinfo().

What will be the problem ?

Kindly guide.

TIA.

- What do you see, if you "view source" in your browser?
- Did you add an include or was automatic added to httpd.conf where PHP is loaded or in httpd.conf itself?

Sir,

The view source is showing the output as :

<?
phpinfo();
?>

The content of my httpd.conf file is as follows :



LoadModule php5_module /usr/lib/apache2/mod_php5.so


Kindly guide.

Mod: Note removed unneeded stuff of httpd.conf

Sir,

I have added the association of php files to the apache to the httpd.conf file in /etc/apache2/, but it is of no use.

Still i am getting blank page. The view source is showing me the content of the file test.php correctly.

What will be the problem. Kindly guide in this regard.

A second thing I can thing of is the short tag ( <? )

You may try to start with a long tag <?php

Hello!

James Blond solution helped to me with openSuse 10.3. Thanks a lot!

If You want to use <? style tag not <?php then edit
Your php.ini file and set short_open_tag = On

; Allow the <? tag. Otherwise, only <?php and <script> tags are recognized.
; NOTE: Using short tags should be avoided when developing applications or
; libraries that are meant for redistribution, or deployment on PHP
; servers which are not under your control, because short tags may not
; be supported on the target server. For portable, redistributable code,
; be sure not to use short tags.
short_open_tag = On

I got the solution to the blank page. My virus scanner firewall was active. I have de-activated the firewall and then installed the php with proper php association suggested in the above posts.

Now the phpinfo() script is showing me the output for just a second or two seconds and immediately after that the apache server gets stopped automatically.

My apache log file say as follows :
"httpd.exe: Could not reliably determine the server's fully qualified domain name, using 172.16.5.22 for ServerName
[Tue Mar 18 16:25:55 2008] [warn] pid file C:/apache2.2.8/logs/httpd.pid overwritten -- Unclean shutdown of previous Apache run?

what will be the reason for this ?

I've seen this restarting with some PHP extensions.
So disable all extension in php.ini and try again. And than enable only extension you need one by one to see if a extension chrashes your apache when you call phpinfo page.
