this is the output displayed in my webpage

Quote:

Hello World ";?>

I just starting to explore Eclipse and its features, particularly PHP.
Right from the get go it appears that the PHP parser is bonkers?

Why is it displaying the

Quote:

"?>

in the web browser window ?

Solution:
I move the workspace to the Apache DocumentRoot folder
I setup Eclipse "Run Configuration" path to the folder and current file in the DocumentRoot
In Preferences I selected "PHP Server" then on the right created configuration that with a URL path to "http://localhost

The result is output to a web page "within" Eclipse

There was a choice of running PHP Script but after setting it up I got an error. I had to setup a PHP executable. I thought I did it right? I'll settle for what I have for now

Hello craig :)

The problem is the missing semicolon at the end of the "echo" statement!

Try this: <?php echo "<h1> Hello World </h1>"; ?>

nuts...Ah I'm so annoyed with myself

I posted one of the iterations of code I was using to test. I started eliminating elements of the code to see what got dropped in the output.

The code should have read as follows

Quote:

<?php
echo ( "<h1> Hello World </h1>" );
?>

I'm testing code right out of a text book for the sake of testing Eclipse and PHP. It's like feeling my way in a dark room with Eclipse so far.

With the ";" in the code the output is

Quote:

;?>

This is bizarre. If I increase the code example I get more code being projected into the output. I mean what is this. PHP code is not suppose to show in the output.

example;

Quote:

<html>
<?php
echo ( "<textarea rows=\"5\" cols=\"48\">" );
echo
("\"Utinam populus Romanus unam cervicem haberet!\"");
echo
("\n (Would that the Roman people had but one neck!)");
echo ("</textarea>");
?>
</html>

output to firefox browser window :

Quote:

" ); echo ("\"Utinam populus Romanus unam cervicem haberet!\""); echo ("\n (Would that the Roman people had but one neck!)"); echo (""); ?>

I mean what the blazes is going on here?

For the sake of discussion My System setup:
Windows XP
Apache server 2.2 (installed and running)
PHP 5.3.0 (installed)
Eclipse 3.5 Build id: 20090920-1017

I have to be honest. I "assume" I have to have the Apache web server and PHP installed on my system so that Eclipse can execute the php code. This is something I'm not quite sure about. Initially I had the impression that PHP Eclipse plugin created a self contained environment so that one didn't need Apache and PHP installation on the system beside what Eclipse sets you up with.
