Howdy,

I have attempted to install PHP 5.1.4 on a Windows NT system with Netscape Enterprise Server (3.6? not my choice). It seems like it is partially installed. I mean, when you run phpinfo you get:

http://128.194.109.84/users/wong/php_info.php

<html>

<head>
<title>PHP info</title>
</head>

<body>

<?php
phpinfo();
?>

</body>

</html>

Something's definately happening, but something's definately not correct. I am trying to diagnose the problem by running other scrpts. A good, short example of what's wrong is shown by this script:

http://128.194.109.84/users/wong/timetest.php

It displays something like this:
09:21:50 am</b> on the computer running PHP.</p>

instead of this:
This page was created at 09:19:14 am on the computer running PHP.

Here's the code:

<p>This page was created at <b>
<?php echo date("h:i:s a", time()); ?>
</b> on the computer running PHP.</p>

I tried looking up troubleshooting problems in php.net and google, but I am having a really hard time because I really don't know how to describe this problem in one or two keywords.

Help is much appreciated!

I'm wondering if the server's not telling the browser the output code is the right type.

Examine the headers (you'll need a program to do that) and see if the type is text/html

Using Microsoft Fiddler (great program for some debugging and such!), I can see that your server is indeed doing what Puckdropper said .. no content type in the header.

Your server's return headers:

HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Server: Netscape-Enterprise/3.6 SP1
Date: Thu, 19 Oct 2006 03:25:29 GMT
Connection: close

Another (in this case my) server's return headers:

HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Date: Thu, 19 Oct 2006 03:24:42 GMT
Server: Apache
X-Powered-By: PHP/4.4.2
Content-Type: text/html

The key line being the Content-Type: header.
