justsomeguy Posted December 4, 2006 Share Posted December 4, 2006 I guess, if you have this in your CSS:body {display: none;}Then I guess it would have something to do with your CSS. When you view the source with your browser, what do you see? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZeroShade Posted December 4, 2006 Author Share Posted December 4, 2006 I guess, if you have this in your CSS:body {display: none;}Then I guess it would have something to do with your CSS. When you view the source with your browser, what do you see?I don't have display none at all in my css... this is what i see on the page though:I see the text form and the submit button, they aren't clickable at all unless i select the browsers no style option. Also, I see this from the php, "; ?>just like that. Which i can't even highlight. its like an image thats just places there and can't be touched.

justsomeguy Posted December 4, 2006 Share Posted December 4, 2006 When you go to View->Source in the browser.Also, you're only supposed to have 1 element with any ID. You have 3 contactaddress elements. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZeroShade Posted December 4, 2006 Author Share Posted December 4, 2006 When you go to View->Source in the browser.Looks the same as my code in the editor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justsomeguy Posted December 4, 2006 Share Posted December 4, 2006 If it looks exactly the same, where you see the PHP code, then PHP is not getting executed. You need to run the page from the server, you cannot open a local PHP file in your local web browser and have the code execute it, you need to access it through http.

justsomeguy Posted December 4, 2006 Share Posted December 4, 2006 Either that, or install a webserver and PHP on your local machine to develop with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZeroShade Posted December 4, 2006 Author Share Posted December 4, 2006 Either that, or install a webserver and PHP on your local machine to develop with.I've installed php and Apache... but apache is giving me one error when i try to restart it... could that be the error?I think i know the problem. The error is stating that it won't take a dll file to the server but when in fact i don't have a server set up yet. So once I set a server up on my own machine... then it will take it to the server and therefore allowing me to test php on my machine. I think I got it. thanks!!
