Is there a php test I can do to test server php compatibility?

Seanie M

I have done a website for someone using Flash, and in it is the contact form. However, I can't seem to get the input to be sent via the php script. However again, everythig seems to be fine. Is there a simple php script I can use to upload to the web host and test its php-ness?

Thanks in advance,

Seanie.

<?php
phpinfo();
?>

Save as a php file, upload, then navigate to.

Thanks Gordon, let me try that...

Yep, it seems to be fine, running on version 4.4.7

However, as it is the same script I am using on another flash website, on a different domain/host, I don't know why it won't work here...

Any tips for me to look for?

Check the log files

Check the modules in the phpinfo output

Is the other host which your script is working on php 4.4.7, or php 5?

Maybe your trying to use a function which is only available in php 5

I'm very out of practice with PHP but it would probably be best to test if any form variables are being passed and what exactly is/isn't working.

You could try a dummy form whose output just echoes the variables to see if that basic stage is working.

Also check out $_GET and $_POST and possibly superglobals which I have a nagging suspicion caused me problems before.

Persistence is NOT futile, I managed to get it working.

By the way, it was on www.waynebrennan.com
