PHP Blank pages!

[SD_Ryoko]

When you key in my script in the adress bar, its a blank page!

Theres no reason for that; it does actions even if you give it no commands.

I don't understand.

The web sites said thats typically because of a PHP error.

So I downloaded 2 PHP editors and the PHP 4.02 for windows.

But when I run the syntax check in either editor, it locks up and never responds!

Yeah that PHP will do that if everything is not perfect. I did an application in it and did not have time to find a syntax checker but I spent hours debugging that freaking script to get rid of blank pages.

Basically it sounds like you have a syntax error in your code - probably something small and stupid but that is all it takes.

.....well its 300 some lines!

Why do both syntax checkers crash? Is there a problem with the PHP install?

Is it because Mysql queries are in my program, but I don't have MYSQL on my computer? I figgured it would just ignore them?

You need to install mysql - its easy to do and there is a windows version.

OKAY

Did you know, <?-- comments --> only work in the HTML sections, not PHP? I didn't.

Please help. I don't understand this one - the last line looks FINE.

Pleeeeeease... ( I did get an editor to work after installing MYSQL as a windows service)

If I delete that line, it parse errors the previous. If I delete that.... previous....previous....

 

[SD_Ryoko]

I guess a parse error with no general 'line' listed is a bracket mismatch { }

For everything else, it tells you what line.

Thus I fixed the broken script.

I don't know why I have to tell this to the Webmaster and I'm still a newbie, but why ot replace comment lines with either the /* The C style comments */, the //C++ style one-line comments, or the #shell script style, for one line comments. I personally prefer the C++ styles. I think I'm overlooking something, because comment lines are the basics.

I'd also like to note, that in XHTML 1.0, the <!--Comments are no longer used.-->. If you are using XHTML 1.0, then you have to write your comments like
<[CDATA[comment goes in here]]>.
