[RESOLVED] PHP not showing "echo"

Franjdea

Hey guys,

I've got a problem where my page, after you login, only displays normal HTML and not PHP code. Here is the code, I don't know what is wrong. Thank you.

<? 
session_start();

echo "This doesn't show for some reason...";

if(!session_is_registered(myusername)){
header("location:index.php");
}

?>

<html>
<body>
<p>Login Successful :D</p>
</body>
</html>

Thanks,

-Francis

Hi there - welcome to PHPBuilder! When posting PHP code, please use the board's [noparse]

..

[/noparse] bbcode tags as they make your code much easier to read and analyze.

As for your problem, I can immediately think of two things to check:

Does the file you placed this code in have a .php file extension? (If you're developing on Windows, make sure file extensions aren't being hidden in Tools->Folder Options.)
I notice you're using the '<?' short tag syntax. Note that the '<?' and '<?=$var;?>' short tag syntaxes have been deprecated and disabled by default for some time now - you should always use the full '<?php' opening tag.

However, I am now getting another issue:

I get these errors when I try to load it up:

Notice: Use of undefined constant myusername - assumed 'myusername' in C:\wamp\www\drpg\usercp.php on line 6

Deprecated: Function session_is_registered() is deprecated in C:\wamp\www\drpg\usercp.php on line 6

The part of the code it talks about is

session_start();
if(!session_is_registered(myusername)){
header("location:index.php");
}

NogDog

<?php
session_start();
if(empty($_SESSION['myusername'])) { // use $_SESSION array, and quote the key
   header("Location: http://yourhost.com/index.php"); // should be full URL for HTTP 1.1 conformance
}

Thank you all very much, solved my problem 🙂.

Thanks again!
