PHP configuration help (inline PHP not working)?

baggiho · #1 (**permalink**) 01-05-2007, 02:11 PM

I am having problems getting inline PHP to work correctly. If I do
"""
<?php
printf("<html><body>The time is %s.</body></html>", date("g:i a", time()));
?>
"""
it will print "The time is 10:08 am."

However, if I do
"""
<html><body>The time is <?php date("g:i a", time()) ?>.</body></html>
"""
all I get is "The time is ." printed to the screen. What am I missing in either php.ini or http.conf to get this inline php to work correctly.

Your second statement is missing an echo command.

<?php echo date("g:i a", time()) ?>

Hello
You had forgotten echo or print command for date
Please use
<html><body>The time is <?php echo date("g:i a", time()) ; ?>.</body></html>

you can do like follow commands(dont forget ; after any coomand too)
<? $var=date("g:i a", time()) ; echo $var; ?>
<?=date("g:i a", time()) ;?>

<?= means echo(print too)

you can use date("g:i a") instead of date("g:i a", time()) ; too.
visit this link for date:
http://php.net/manual/en/function.date.php
and for print:
http://php.net/manual/en/function.echo.php

Have a good times

I know this is a VERY old post, but it's the first result I got on a Google search with the exact same problem that took a while to figure out.

The short_open_tag must be on in your php.ini for <?"This to work"?>. Otherwise, you must use <? echo "This to work"; ?>

php.ini
short_open_tag = On

Hope this helps someone in the future.
