Why doesn't it?

I read through the tutorial about forums with php and mysql at thescripts.com ...downloaded the source for the forum...set it all up with mysql and stuff...but the only thing that's working is the index.php3 page. When I click the link to post a topic I only see the source. Not the actual page. Has anybody done this? I can't find the error...

What is the file names for the other pages? Are they also .php3? Or perhaps .phtml or .php?

[Agent_Embryo]

Uh nah they're the same, .php3

I'm gonna go through the code tomorrow.

Do you know if the PHP engine is working properly on the server?


if you made a page like ...index.php3

And put in something like:

<?

echo "Hello!";

?>


Load it in the browser, and does it show 'Hello!'?

[Agent_Embryo]

Yup did that. Works just fine...

[gothic]

Doh...

Hmm...I'm assuming all the files are in the same directory...

Can you check the files that aren't working and see if they start with:

<?php

or

<?

Or neither?

[Agent_Embryo]

Yeh they start with <?php

If you want to look at it yourself there's a zipfile with the code at www.thescripts.com

Thanks for the efforts to help. I appriciate it.

Could you post me a link to the download or let me know the name of the one you grabbed? I don't want to grab the wrong one...

I'll set it up on my server here and see what happens..

[Agent_Embryo]

Here it is...

Thank you so much. I haven't had time to look more at the code...lots to do...

I've come to the conclusion that view.php3 is the only document that starts with <? and not with <?php ....

While this really shouldn't make a difference, could you try changing the line in view.php3 from <? to <?php

Just for kicks.. =]
