    copied!<p>I have a basic ajax application, which will not work, instead the php code is displayed in the browser. The javascript and html seem fine. I have copied the code verbatim from here:</p> <p><a href="http://arief.aeroven.com/2008/07/30/first-ajax-script-tutorial-connecting-ajax-contain-pure-htmlphpand-javascript-to-mysql-database/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">http://arief.aeroven.com/2008/07/30/first-ajax-script-tutorial-connecting-ajax-contain-pure-htmlphpand-javascript-to-mysql-database/</a></p> <p>and this is the php:</p> <pre><code>&lt;? session_start(); //start the session $cmd = $_GET["cmd"]; $con = mysql_connect('localhost', 'root', 'indosat'); if (!con) { die('Connection to MySQL server failed: ' . mysql_error()); //show error message (mysql_error) if connection failed } mysql_select_db('ajax', $con); //select the database, in this case our database name is "ajax" if ($cmd === 'GetEmployee') //set command value (executed from javascript ajaxlib.js) { sleep(10); //give delay about 10 seconds before execute the command //we use this sleep function so we can see the loading animation //you can edit/remove echo "&lt;table border='1' width='100%'&gt; &lt;tr&gt; &lt;th&gt;EmpNo&lt;/th&gt; &lt;th&gt;fName&lt;/th&gt; &lt;th&gt;lName&lt;/th&gt; &lt;th&gt;Age&lt;/th&gt; &lt;/tr&gt;"; //print a table to browser to show the values $sql = "select * from employee"; //this is query to show all records $result = mysql_query($sql); //execute the query &amp; fill it to $result variable while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($result)) { echo "&lt;tr&gt; &lt;td&gt;" . $row['IdEmp'] . "&lt;/td&gt; &lt;td&gt;" . $row['fName'] . "&lt;/td&gt; &lt;td&gt; " . $row['lName'] . "&lt;/td&gt; &lt;td&gt;" . $row['Age'] . "&lt;/td&gt; &lt;/tr&gt;"; //print the record to the table } echo '&lt;/table&gt;'; //close the table } mysql_close($con); //close the mysql connection ?&gt; </code></pre> <p>I don't see what the problem could be</p> <p>edit: it is NOT the shorttags. they are enabled, andusing "long" tags makes no difference.</p>
