ironhide Posted May 28, 2010 Share Posted May 28, 2010 Hello everyone, i have been wandering round these forums as a guest for a while and decided to try and setup an online mmo game. after a while of wondering what engine i should pick i went with the Phaos one. seems good, everyhting setup alright as far as i could tell but then i struck an issue: every page has php code all over it, and i am at a loss to guessing why this is. so if any one could help me out or point me in the right direction i would be very greatfull :) so yeah thats what every page looks like, i have apache setup and i have all the files places in htdocs so i can go http://localhost/phaos and it brings up the page you see now. i downloaded mysql and i made a database, added the scripts, exsecuted them and everyhting was tucked away in the tables just nicely. i added the mysql information to the config_settings.php file too so im lost! help! :rolleyes: oh and the reason why this is in here and not the phaos section is because every game i have tried does the same thing! mccodes mod_cars phaos and devana Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spudinski Posted May 28, 2010 Share Posted May 28, 2010 You need to install PHP. Also, after you install PHP you need to install mod_php so that Apache will know how to handle .php extensions. All in all, I'd suggest you uninstall Apache2.2; after which, install XAMPP. XAMPP - Apache, MySQL PHP and Perl. This is all you need, it will also install phpMyAdmin wich is a mySQL browser.

DigitalGerm Posted May 28, 2010 Share Posted May 28, 2010 get an editor that supports find and replace. find "<?" and replace-it whit "<?php" . also find <?= and replace it with <? echo ..... Done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
furydevo Posted June 5, 2010 Share Posted June 5, 2010 Another thing to note: The shorthand php tag, <? requires the option short_open_tag to be on. For better portability, it's always better to use <?php instead of <? and "<?php echo" instead of "<?=". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
