phpinfo() output

[toasterted]

I installed php and setup everything correctly. PHP is working fine.

The problem is with phpinfo().

Whenever if check phpinfo(), the output shows up as regular text. looking at the source, it looks like all the HTML tags generated by phpinfo() is removed.

If im not mistaken, the output should be in tables.

Its not a big thing since php is working, but it makes checking variables difficult.

Anyone know why this happens and/or how to correct it?

Exactly how are you calling phpinfo? from a web page, from the command line?

Make a web page called phpinfo.php that has nothing but this in it:

<?php
phpinfo();
?>

Then view it with your browser.

Hmm... can you give a little more info? Like, what's actually outputted (look at the source), how you have PHP installed, OS, etc.

I have phpinfo setup exactly like "edwardsbc" said.

PHP 4.3.1 installed in c:\php
windows xp pro
PHP.ini = c:\windows\system32 (using PHPRC)

without PHPRC, php will look for php.ini in the c:\windows directory. When it does that, the output for phpinfo() displays properly in the tables and all HTML tags are present, but any modifications to php.ini are not detected. PHP.ini is still in the system32 directory.

When I move php.ini to the c:\windows diretory, the output becomes messed up again. No HTML tags whatsoever in the source.

Source looks like this :

phpinfo()
