Browser displaying php code

[Richard Dunne]

I installed Bluefish editor with the default configuration. I am trying to
display PHP variables in a html table using echo statements. Without any
html code in the echo statement, no php displays in the webpage as
expected. However, after I insert the html code between the " ", the php
code appears in the webpage, for loop code and php variables in the echo
statement. I don't understand why. Is this a configuration issue? Or is
this a bug? This issue doesn't occur with Notepad++. Appreciate any
advice.

This isn't entirely clear. Can you give an example?

Hi Lindsay,

If I use
for($x=0; $x<$array.length; $x++)
{echo $phpvariable[$x];}
nothing appears unless/until $phpvariable[$x] holds a value.
If I use
for($x=0; $x<$array.length; $x++)
{echo "<tr><td>" . $phpvariable[$x] . "</td></tr>";}
this appears in the browser
for($x=0; $x<$array.length; $x++) { $phpvariable[$x]";}
Its as if Bluefish is not interpreting correctly, or am I missing
something?

I am a novice at php admittedly!

The problem I think might be the file extension .php vs .html None of the
php code appears if the file is .php

What you describe sounds like a web server issue unrelated to bluefish. A Web server will take its cue from the filename extension. If it's ".html" it will not interpret PHP code but pass it on to your browser. If it's ".php" it will interpret PHP code and pass the results of that interpretation on you.

Hi Richard,

how do you preview the php code? do you preview it over a webserver with
php enabled? or do you just view the php file directly in the browser?

View the file in the browser via localhost (WAMP)

View the file in the browser via localhost (WAMP)

If you're using a URL containing "localhost" you're passing your code
through your Apache web server with its PHP module, and PHP code gets
parsed and interpreted accordingly, if the filename extension is ".php"
then the server's PHP module will parse the PHP code and return the
logical result as instructed by the code.

To bypass Apache and the PHP module, you'll need to retrieve your file
directly from the drive using a URL starting with "file:"

I thought Apache was, could be configured to parse both html and php code
irrespective of the file type? And I thought there was no limit to what
technology could do.

It can be, depending on the AddHandler and SetHandler directives in play
for a particular directory, but this is beyond the scope and topic of
this list since it really doesn't concern bluefish. There are a number
of Apache user forums and lists if you need help beyond the
documentation at http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/. By default, on all
the installs I've seen, Apache is configured to invoke the PHP parser
only for files with the expected PHP file types - .php, .php5, .phtml,
etc.

I guess there are still a few things, such as mending a broken heart ;)
