Question

I am trying to create my first dynamic site on windows server 2008 r2. I have created other dynamic sites successfully on linux based systems but I am having a little bit of trouble with this.

So i have php, mysql and phpmyadmin installed on the server.

I have a page (index.php) with the following:

    <?php
    include 'php/index.php';
    mysql_set_charset('utf8');
    ?>

This works fine and does not show when i do ‘view source’ on the displayed page in a web browser.

Further down my page i have the following:

    <?=$obj->get_email()?>

This statement is to be used to pull information from a database. When i do view source it shows the get_email() command as seen above. Instead of what it should be replaced with .

Is this a PHP issue? Is this type of command not suitable with windows server or am i just doing something completely stupid??

Answer 1

Try it without short tags:

<?php echo $obj->get_email(); ?>
