main index.php problem

[artwalk]

hi! i've successfully created pixelpost database, logged in, uploaded an image but when i tried to access my main page, http://www.renriquez.com/pixelpost/index.php , what i'm seeing on my browser is a mix of letters and numbers like these:

"2147483647) $top = $top - 4294967296; //this makes the number signed instead of unsigned if($bottom!=0) $data=$top/$bottom; else if($top==0) $data = 0; else $data=$top."/".$bottom; if(($tag=="011a" || $tag=="011b") && $bottom==1) { //XResolution YResolution $data=$top." dots per ResolutionUnit"; } else if($tag=="829a") { //Exposure Time if($top/10 == 1) $data="1/".round($bottom/10, 0)." sec"; else $data=$top."/".$bottom." sec"; } else if($tag=="829d") { //FNumber $data="f ".$data; } else if($tag=="9204") { //ExposureBiasValue $data=$data." EV"; } else if($tag=="9205" || $tag=="9202") { //ApertureValue and MaxApertureValue //ApertureValue is given in the APEX Mode. Many thanks to Matthieu Froment for this code //The formula is : Aperture = 2*log2(FNumber) <=> FNumber = e((Aperture.ln(2))/2) $data = exp(($data*log(2))/2); $data = round($data, 1);//Focal is given with a... "

I thought I had the installation down pat already but I'm afraid not. Appreciate any help. Thanks!

I thought I had seen this same problem when I ran Simpleviewer's installation php script the other day. Emailed my host's support team and got an answer that the opening tag <? don't work on their server. It has to be <?php.

I checked out the exifer1_5 php scripts and true enough, those were the culprits.

I'm a happy camper now. Now, on to template hunting... :D

thats weird...

good it works now though, you may have issues in the future with addons you download, many of them the code opens with <? so keep your eyes peeled.

We'll look further into it though to avoid server issues like this one

It depends from php.ini configuration. It can additionaly support short tag form or only a long form.

Try sending a mail to your host and ask if they could modify their php.ini so that both <? and <?php works... Can't see what drawbacks there might be, and it would make it more user friendly for their customers too :)
