php code displaying on web page instead of working behind the scene

I have an index.html in my wampserver www directory. On t开发者_运维技巧his html, there is a link for a user to upload file. When I hit the link, I select files to upload but instead of the uploadmanager.php which i have tested in my eclipse debugg environment to work, it displays the some part of the code on the web page without doing anything thing. This is not what I expect. Can someone please tell me what is wrong? Thank you.

sound like you are using php-short-open-tags (<? instead of <?php) without enabling this in your php.ini. change your php.ini or use the standart open-tags to solve this.

Are you sure you enabled PHP in WAMP?

Try creating a new uploadmanager.php file directly in wamp/www (or whatever subdirectory) and paste the code from your tested uploadmanager script into the new file. Then try to run it in WAMP.

I think it is a permissions problem. I copied an index.php file into a c:/wamp/www/subdirectory and it only displayed the code. Once I created a new index.php file and pasted the contents of the old file into it, it worked perfectly.

Are you posting to the uploadmanager.php page? Are you getting an error or just seeing the code? Can you post the code from the index.html page that handled the form and the part of the php code you're seeing for us to look at?

Every now and then I have Apache serving the .php as downloadable files instead processing them on the server, but only with random requests.

Some reasons, why this might happen, are

• PHP misconfiguration
• PHP-files in a directory without execute rights
• wrong content type sent
• timeout from script execution

In my situation the last bullet is the most dangerous, but luckily it seems to show up only immediately after modifying some of the .php files. I haven't tracked the problem any deeper yet, but it seems to relate some filesystem level operations (as the disk I/O is a bottleneck) and presents itself only in testing env.
