    What error do you get? –  Apr 15 '14 at 03:30
  • What kind of output on the screen are you expecting? How are you running the script? Are you just navigating to the script in your url bar? – welbornio Apr 15 '14 at 03:31

    do you have the dependancy installed? what are the logs saying? make sure php is set to display errors, and paste them here - without that, we don't have much to go on. – flauntster Apr 15 '14 at 03:31
  • am expecting a chat like screen ..Its a chat app in php ....but instead of that i get a blank page ..i have navigated to localhost/mainfile.php..Main file is the index file on the whole script .. – user3534308 Apr 15 '14 at 03:33
  • Have a look at the error logs. There should be a php one. Alternatively set php errors to on in your script temporarily. That gives us a starting point. – ScottMcGready Apr 15 '14 at 03:35
  • Check this out: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/6575482/how-do-i-enable-error-reporting-in-php That should enable displaying errors. – welbornio Apr 15 '14 at 03:36
  • @flauntster what do you mean by dependancy here ?? – user3534308 Apr 15 '14 at 03:37
  • @user3534308, sorry i just noticed the dependancy is optional.. on the github page, it mentions a dependancy - proctitle – flauntster Apr 15 '14 at 03:42
  • Looks like your XAMP probably does not have one or more PHP extensions enabled that the app requires. You should change your error reporting first of all, a blank screen is not very useful. – AJReading Apr 15 '14 at 03:42
  • @flauntster i didnt get what you mean by dependancy ??..can you explain me whats it ..proctitle ??..whats that too ? – user3534308 Apr 15 '14 at 04:09

First thing you may want to check is your php.ini file to make sure your display_errors and display_startup_errors are turned on. if they aren't or they don't exist, put them in and then restart your server.
