Hello there. I have downloaded XAMPP and installed it. I am using PSPAD (www.pspad.com/de) with making hyper transport text protocolls(Http pages) and I have problems with PHP. The html files work correctly, but when I am using PHP in my HTML files or when I craete PHP files it doesn't work anything. I am pro at making PHP and html etc. files so I don't know what I did wrong. Can't be a noob mistake. Please help!

Edit: At home it works, I have an router, on this PC I only have modem,
the test programm was "test.php" and when I write "<? echo "Test"; ?>" no error log comes up and nothing happens at all, simply that the text is shown as a html text on the side?!

Pro hmmm? :rolleyes:

Mind providing any further details, like a better problem description, error logs, scripts you're writing.

What's the output of:
PHP: 
<?php phpinfo(); ?>

Are you sure your HTTP server is configured to process PHP pages?

So it behaves the way it should. Are you sure there are no syntax errors in your scripts...?

Note that you should use <?php ... ?> and not <? ... ?>
Short-hand tags will try to interpret <?xml ... ?> which will end up in a big mess.

It'd suggest you learn how to configure your webserver.

Interpreting .html files using PHP isn't default behaviour. You have to add it yourself.

First, you read the documentation and then you go through the configuration file, locate the entry that defines the PHP handler for .php files and add the same one for .html

Click to expand...

There is no ending angle bracket there.

Also, you are accessing the page from localhost/test1.php right?

It wont work simply opening the file, it must be an html request.


In order to show the page correctly after you type localhost, you must have port 80 forwarded. This will cause trouble at school/work etc.


In order to parse HTML files using PHP: http://www.desilva.biz/php/phpinhtml.html

PHP: 
<input type="hidden" name="url" value=<?php echo $_SERVER["PHP_SELF"] ?>
Well this does not need a braket at end. When I do it there is one > in the input line.

Also I tested it and it didn't work :S

    Crazy how much 3d printing has come in the last few years. Sad that it's not as easily modifiable though
  • Varine Varine:
    I bought an Ender 3 during the pandemic and tinkered with it all the time. Just bought a Sovol, not as easy. I'm trying to make it use a different nozzle because I have a fuck ton of Volcanos, and they use what is basically a modified volcano that is just a smidge longer, and almost every part on this thing needs to be redone to make it work
  • Varine Varine:
    Luckily I have a 3d printer for that, I guess. But it's ridiculous. The regular volcanos are 21mm, these Sovol versions are about 23.5mm
  • Varine Varine:
    So, 2.5mm longer. But the thing that measures the bed is about 1.5mm above the nozzle, so if I swap it with a volcano then I'm 1mm behind it. So cool, new bracket to swap that, but THEN the fan shroud to direct air at the part is ALSO going to be .5mm to low, and so I need to redo that, but by doing that it is a little bit off where it should be blowing and it's throwing it at the heating block instead of the part, and fuck man
  • Varine Varine:
    I didn't realize they designed this entire thing to NOT be modded. I would have just got a fucking Bambu if I knew that, the whole point was I could fuck with this. And no one else makes shit for Sovol so I have to go through them, and they have... interesting pricing models. So I have a new extruder altogether that I'm taking apart and going to just design a whole new one to use my nozzles. Dumb design.
  • Varine Varine:
    Can't just buy a new heatblock, you need to get a whole hotend - so block, heater cartridge, thermistor, heatbreak, and nozzle. And they put this fucking paste in there so I can't take the thermistor or cartridge out with any ease, that's 30 dollars. Or you can get the whole extrudor with the direct driver AND that heatblock for like 50, but you still can't get any of it to come apart
  • Varine Varine:
    Partsbuilt has individual parts I found but they're expensive. I think I can get bits swapped around and make this work with generic shit though
