Suse 11.2
Php works normal when file is loaded on browser. But when I read XMLHttpRequest responseText it shows the php source code.
Bug in your code for sure.
Sorry, crystal ball not working so can’t help you without details. Maybe even show us the PHP code, too much to ask?
This tutorial:
Ajax Tutorial - XMLHttpRequest
html:
<html>
<body>
<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">
<!--
//Browser Support Code
function ajaxFunction(){
var ajaxRequest; // The variable that makes Ajax possible!
try{
// Opera 8.0+, Firefox, Safari
ajaxRequest = new XMLHttpRequest();
} catch (e){
// Internet Explorer Browsers
try{
ajaxRequest = new ActiveXObject("Msxml2.XMLHTTP");
} catch (e) {
try{
ajaxRequest = new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP");
} catch (e){
// Something went wrong
alert("Your browser broke!");
return false;
}
}
}
// Create a function that will receive data sent from the server
ajaxRequest.onreadystatechange = function(){
if(ajaxRequest.readyState == 4){
document.myForm.time.value = ajaxRequest.responseText;
}
}
ajaxRequest.open("GET", "serverTime.php", true);
ajaxRequest.send(null);
}
//-->
</script>
<form name='myForm'>
Name: <input type='text' onChange="ajaxFunction();" name='username' /> <br />
Time: <input type='text' name='time' />
</form>
</body>
</html>
php:
<?php
echo date("H:i:s");
?>
And also some other code I tried. Simple as anything, so I think it must be server configuration problem? But what?
Works fine for me if you move <body> down above <form> and enclose the <script> in <head></head>. JS works better if declared inside <head>.
Yes it works also on another server I tried. So it is a server problem but what? That is why I’m here and not on a php or javascript forum. :\
What you get if you run this piece of code:
<?php
phpinfo();
?>

If you are getting PHP code when you request that PHP page (the one you
posted originally) then your Apache server is not configured to handle PHP
at all. Make sure you have the mod_php* (or whatever it’s called) module
loaded and that Apache knows to use that module to interpret all .php
files. Looking at my SLES 10 box I have a php.conf files in
/etc/apache2/conf.d which you should probably have as well, and also
/etc/apache2/sysconfig.d/loadmodule.conf has the following line:
LoadModule php5_module /usr/lib/apache2/mod_php5.so
After making sure that is all there verify your Apache configuration:
sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 configtest
and if that returns ‘Syntax OK’ go ahead and restart Apache:
sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 restart
Test.
Good luck.

If this file where you have the phpinfo() call is in the same directory as
the other file that does not work what is different between them? Are
they the same file? Have the same file extension if not?
Good luck.

After good night’s sleep I figured it out myself.
For some reason :shame: I opened the html page directly from browser with “Open -> File”. That causes the php-script to show. When opened on localhost everything is ok.
Does this behaviour seem odd to you? I does, please someone try it also and report the bug to whomever it should be reported.
Not a bug but a feature. 
PHP code relies on the interpreter in the webserver to run it. If you open the file directly you bypass the interpreter and none of the PHP code is executed.
Case closed.

Exactly… otherwise how would you modify the PHP code?
Good luck.

Always good to use the right tool for the right job.
Good luck.
