When I type somewhere in my code

<?  
require_once(dirname(__FILE__) . '/../../inc/config.inc.php');

if ($Admin->Connected && $Admin->HasRight('menu_Contact_Subscription', USER))
{

It shows me an raw output like this on the screen:

Connected && $Admin->HasRight('menu_Contact_Subscription', USER)) {

Why does this happen?

  • Is it only one block of code this is happening to. Or does it echo the entire file? – Ben Hillier May 07 '19 at 07:41

  • It could be that something in `config.inc.php` is causing this problem. Does that open or close tags anywhere? – Ben Hillier May 07 '19 at 07:44

    my suspicion is that config.inc.php has something strange in it, that let's php think that `->` is the end of something...a docblock maybe? but I am confused, too, I've never seen this behaviour. You could try to copy the content of the config.inc.php into the code file and see if your editor's syntax highliting gives any hints – cypherabe May 07 '19 at 07:44
  • @insertusernamehere In this case, I think there's something more going on than just a PHP file failing to execute. Otherwise, the entire `if` statement would be echoed. – Ben Hillier May 07 '19 at 07:46

    @insertusernamehere I stand corrected. It's interpreting the tags as HTML of course! Then indeed: the PHP is simply failing to execute. – Ben Hillier May 07 '19 at 07:57
  • @insertusernamehere of course, you are right. do you want to expand your explanation into a beginner-friendly answer? – cypherabe May 07 '19 at 08:00
  • Php should give expected output. If not this may have a lot of causes. Check related functions if there's mistakes. Especially if you use header(); function it usually gives errors similar to this. – Creative87 May 07 '19 at 08:10
