When I run my index.php with the following doctype:
Code:
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd">
It works in both Chrome and Firefox everything is displayed. The problem is in IE9 it just shows the html sourcecode.
Now I know it't not the code because when the file extension was index.html it displayed fine in IE9.
I've also tried
Code:
<!DOCTYPE html>
Which is ment to work with all the new browsers. Probably a stupid question but anyone shed some light?
Update: Not a DOCTYPE error. In fact its the XAMPP webserver for some reason http://localhost/htdocs is unable to be found in ie. And I can't manage to get the file:///C:/xampp/htdocs/myfiles/index.php to work in ie. Anyone know how to solve this please reply. Thanks.
It definitely won't work if you use a "file://" protocol type, as you'll then be bypassing the web server, which means PHP won't be invoked. I have no idea why IE would be misbehaving with the "http://localhost", other than maybe you should clear its cache and then try again?
