phpwcms Support Forum

where do I get the latest PHP-version? Or is PHP the same as phpwcms? Very simple question of course, but the answer is nowhere to be found...

Hi tuur66,

PHP is the programming language in which phpwcms is written.
The latest stable phpwcms-version can be found at http://sourceforge.net/projects/phpwcms/.
The latest snapshot releases are here http://www.phpwcms.org/snapshot/.
PHP can you download here http://www.php.net/downloads.php but i think this is not what you are looking for

.

Kind regards Heiko...

Thank you. I don't think I need to get PHP since I never have had to! Still, it is similar to HTML, right? And one doesn't have to get HTML: it is just there, isn't it.

your host would be able to let you know if you have php
alternativly you could create a new file called test.php ... copy the following code to it...

Code: Select all

<?php
phpinfo();
?>

then save it and upload it to your sites root folder.

then simply go to yourDomain.com/test.php

if php is installed it will print out all the details here - otherwise it will just show you the content of that file.

hih pSouper

thanks, pSouper. It just shows the contents of the file. See here: http://www.redgreenblue.nl/wcms/test.php
What does that mean?

This means your PHP Version is 4.3.9.
The rest is the PHP-Config of your host...

In the file you can also see that the php safe mode is ON. could that be the reason that the login screen won't show?

definitely no.

as Heiko H says, it means you do have php and it is working.

I see you have the frontend of the site working thus at some point you have had phpWCMS working - this info is important to know so we may help you

you may want to explain what you did just before the login stopped working

... I would suggest you backup, then re-install phpwcms files again (not config folder unless this does not fix it)
