bit of a problem

[ironhide]

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

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.

i actually have XAMPP installed so ill un install all that other software and run with that.

get an editor that supports find and replace.

find "<?" and replace-it whit "<?php" .

also find

<?=

and replace it with

<? echo .....

Done.

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 "<?=".
