Topic: PHP Source Code Output

Hi,

I've setup PunBB, and every now and then it will output the source code or ask to download the .php file.

A quick refresh often makes the pages display correctly, but I just have no idea what is going on as it seems to be a random occurrence.

I was just wondering if anyone else has had a similar problem, as I have tried searching but to no avail.

Please help!

Thanks.

Re: PHP Source Code Output

You should talk to your host. It's a problem on their end.

Re: PHP Source Code Output

Ummm, has nothing to do with firefox tongue if php isn't be executed then it's a problem with the server before the data is sent to firefox(/lynx anyone? big_smile /safari/opera/ie) ;p

If your host has an error log, check it and look for stuff like missing libs and/or missing php add-ons. I had the same issue when my http server was inproperly configured, or was missing libs/add-ons.

Re: PHP Source Code Output

you're probably right since the host i was on wasn't exactly 100% reliable at the time.

Re: PHP Source Code Output

Thanks everyone!

I just got my host to switch it over to PHP5... and no more problems. smile

Apparently it was running 3/4, even though phpinfo reported 5?

Re: PHP Source Code Output

Like someone pointed out earlier, this has nothing to do with your browser.
