Why my php code is commented ?

[ocsidot]

Hi everybody,

First of all, sorry if my question was already answered somewhere, but I can't find out how to resolve my problem .

So, I'm a beginner in PHP programmation and for my studies, I have to write a page which read information from an other address and display it.

<?php
$adresse = "[URL]http://www.casablanca-technopark.ma/detail_ese.asp?ID=56[/URL]"; 
$page = @file_get_contents ($adresse);
 echo "$page <br>";
?>

But when I open my page, I see nothing and when I look at the source code, I see that my php code is commented.

So, could anyone please tell me what I've missed ?

Thank you very much for all the help you can provide me.

ps: Sorry for my english, I'm french

If the page name is index.html , the PHP is never executed. It has to be index.php

Another way to view HTML contents is by using cURL.
http://php.net/manual/en/book.curl.php

or if you have to use file_get_contents
try

<?php
$page =  file_get_contents ("http://www.google.com/");
print_r($page.'<br />');
?>

See what result you get from that.

<?php
$adresse = "[URL]http://www.casablanca-technopark.ma/detail_ese.asp?ID=56[/URL]"; 
$page = @file_get_contents ($adresse);
 echo "$page <br>";
?>

Try removing the @. If there is any error there, it will be suppressed and the page will load blank.

And contact the echo page like

echo $page."<br>";

But when I open my page, I see nothing and when I look at the source code, I see that my php code is commented.

"Commented" is completely the wrong term; commented code would be surrounded by "/*" and "*/", or have "//" at the beginning of each line (for PHP comments), or be surrounded by "<!--" and "-->' (for HTML comments). What you probably mean is that when you view the source of the page in a web browser (where you view it is an important detail), you see the PHP code, which indicates the PHP wasn't executed by the web server.

And contact the echo page like

echo $page."<br>";

There's no practical difference between using the concatenation operator and string interpolation. Simpler than file_get_contents and echo would be to use readfile.

Lastly, <br/> is rarely used semantically, and completely unnecessary here. Normally, I'd say to use something more appropriate, such as a paragraph or list element, or apply styling to existing elements, but here, leave it out entirely.
