Hi,

I'm having a problem getting .phtml files to display in a web browser. I
can successfully display a test.php page as per PHP install instructions but
the phtml files show up blank
(in firefox or IE).

I have added these entries to my apache httpd.conf:

LoadModule php5_module modules/libphp5.so
AddHandler php5-script .php .phtml
AddType text/html .php .phtml
#AddType application/x-httpd-php .php .php3 .php4 .phtml (I tried with this
uncommented too and without the previous entry)
AddType application/x-httpd-php-source .phps

My system is: Apache/2.2.6 (Unix) PHP/5.2.5


The phtml files I am having the problem with are from an opensource project
called CDRTool
I believe other people can run this app fine so I believe my issue is a prob
with apache/php
(also because I've never configured apache/php before so its a fair shout
Ive done something
wrong! :P)

The one thing that looks odd to me as someone who hasnt done this before is
that all
the phtml files start with a line:

<?

Anyway, hopefully its an easy one to fix if ur an expert! Any
appreciated!

thanks in advance, Andy.

A decent HOWTO to setup Apache2 and PHP5 on *nix systems:
http://dan.drydog.com/apache2php.html

Also, those <? lines are to be expected. That indicates where PHP
code begins. If you want to get involved with PHP programming, I
suggest learning the basics before trying to set up a whole system
yourself.

If at first you don't succeed, stick to what you know best so that you
can make enough money to pay someone else to do it for you.

Andy,

try this

AddHandler php5-script .php .phtml
#AddType text/html .php .phtml
AddType application/x-httpd-php .php .phtml .html .htm

A blank page often means that there's an error of some kind, but error
reporting is turned off.

Put the following code in the file that's giving you problems to turn
on errors, then reload the file in your browser to see what you get:

ini_set('display_errors',1);

Hi All,

Ok, I have resolved the problem! Interestingly from the index.phtml page I
was still unable to get any info even
after setting the display errors options as suggested by Brady. I tried
connecting direct to some other random
..phtml files included in the CDRTool app and I started getting errors
regarding missing files. The solution turned
out that there were many "pear" module dependencies that weren't mentioned
in the installation and requirements
documents for CDRTool (which simply stated PHP was required). Anyway I added
the modules one by one
depending on the error message I was seeing and now I can connect to the
index.phtml page too.

Thanks to those who replied,

cheers Andy.

Yes, but even then you can get a blank page -- it depends upon the
type of error.

I would start with commenting everything out, and then un-commenting
statements in steps until the error(s) cause a blank page. Fix the
errors and try again.

Cheers,

tedd

Try

short_open_tag = On

in php.ini as a guess.

Or make sure your die(); and exit; lines actually display an error
prior to executing (or, in the case of die(), at the point of
execution). And be sure to set <? error_reporting("E_ALL"); ?> to see
notices, et cetera, to be sure there aren't undefined variables, et
cetera.
