Question

I have a PHP application developed using the Codeigniter framework.

My application works perfectly find on my shared hosting service (Hostgator) but doesn’t work right when developing locally with Xampp.

I’ve attached a screenshot showing an example of what I see with Xampp vs what I see on my web host.

Stuff I’ve tried so far:

• Double check DB settings
• Reinstall Xampp (did this like 5 times…)
• Restart computer
• Check Xampp apache error logs (nothing useful in there)
• Check to see if ports were occupied by another service
• Set my base URL in codeigniter and add virtual hosts to apache config files
• Edit hosts file to point virtual hosts to localhost

Here’s my code for the above image:

<?if($this->data['site_logo']!=''):?>
      <img SRC="<?=$this->data['site_logo']?>" alt="<?=$this->data['site_name']?>" />
<?endif;?>

Thanks!

To enable short tags, head in to your php.ini file, find the line with:

short_open_tag = 0

and change it to

short_open_tag = 1
