It looks like you are trying to run it as a bash script rather than accessing it via a webserver.

I have no idea how your client is set up but to access thins php script via a webserver you just need to perform an http get.

my client is not setup to request a web server. That is the problem that I am having. I dont know how and where to set up the webserver. Can you offer me and code examples or information on how to set this up.

Take a look at the link in post 8.

Full apache documentation is here:
http://httpd.apache.org/docs-2.0/

What do you mean by post 8 and what link are you talking about?

I am having trouble doing any typw of php coding with knoppix. I wrote a simple program and and can not get the code to run.


<?
$vars = explode(", ", urldecode($_SERVER["QUERY_STRING"]));
foreach ($vars as $var){
print $var."<br>";
}
?>

I keep getting the same errors:

./PHPServer2.php: line 1: ? No such file or directory
./PHPServer2.php: line 2: Syntax error near unexpected token (
./PHPServer2.php: line 2: '$vars = explode(", ", urldecode($_SERVER["QUERY_STRING"]));

I even tried to add #!/usr/bin/php to the beginning of the code. I used chmod 711 to compile the program. I can not get it to run though. Do you know what could be wrong here?

Do you know how to make a file readable in php. I get these eroors and I think its becasue i need to make the file readable?

I used the following command:

$ sudo cat > /var/www/PHPServer1.php
<?php phpinfo(); ?>

$ lynx http://127.0.0.1/PHPServer1.php
and got the following errors:

Warning: Unknown (/UNIOFS/var/www/PHPServer1.php):failed to open stream. Permission denied in unknown line 0

Warning: (null)(): Failed opening '/UNIOFS/var/www/PHPServer1.php' for inclusion (include_path = '.:/usr/share/php : /usr/share/peak) in unknown on line 0

I do not have internet access on the computer that I am running linux on. Do I need to get that? Is it possible to access it from a computer with internet access. Also here is the code that I am using in the mean time:

<?
while (1);
//Attempt to read string from socket
//For now let's pretend it's been read successfully
//and is called "stuff"
$stuff = "1,2.2,3.245,.546";

if ($stuff != "") {
$array_of_stuff = explode(',', $stuff); //Now it's an array
//Display them:
print ($array_of_stuff[0]);
print ($array_of_stuff[1]);
print ($array_of_stuff[2]);
print ($array_of_stuff[3]);
$stuff = "";
}
?>

It will just be the filesystem permissions, so long as the file is readable by the user that the webserver is running as it should be ok.
