PHP Suddenly Stopped Working
Posted: Tue May 26, 2009 9:38 am
Hello guys,
New here
I am pretty new to PHP and I am having a really weird problem with it that I have been fighting for several days now. I am on a Windows XP system and I initially installed the newest XAMPP package to use PHP to develop a website in Microsoft Expressions. I installed XAMPP and it worked great as my browsers could display PHP files and my Microsoft Expressions worked with PHP files and had several options for PHP available.
This all worked for about 2 days and then suddenly PHP files no longer display correctly in browsers. Now when I open PHP files it just shows the code, but does not run it. It does this both in Firefox and IE6. Also all the options associated with PHP in Microsoft Expressions are now grayed out and are unavailable. I have not made any software changes or updates on my system prior to this problem.
So, I tried completely uninstalling XAMPP and restarted my computer, then reinstalled XAMPP, didn't work. So I uninstalled it again and tried installing WAMP instead and it too could not display PHP pages correctly.
I really have no idea what could be causing this. My Apache and MySQL services appear to be running with no problems. It just seems that my PC has just completely lost its ability to recognize PHP files.
Any help I could received on this would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you,
Jason
