PHP source code shown instead of executed

Question

Whenever I try to retrieve information from my MySQL database and show it on my web page, the page shows the source instead.

The code source start after the ->fecth(). I think that my WAMP is not setup correctly or the obvious one: "I did something wrong somewhere". I am not looking for an upgrade but just for corrections.

   <?
        $bdd = new PDO('mysql:host=localhost;dbname=test', 'root', '');
        $rep = $bdd->query('SELECT * FROM membre');

        while($data = $rep->fetch()) 
         {
              echo $data['nom'];
         }
   ?>

What errors are you getting? What's not working properly. This is a bit unclear in your question. — Will

Looks like you're not loading from the webserver or Apache PHP is not running. — Jay Blanchard

Funny why that is the output and not more if php is not activated — Drew

no errors, just query('SELECT * FROM membre'); while($data = $rep->fetch()) { echo $data['nom']; } ?> is shown when i start the page — El Fanneri Ayman

Because <? starts a HTML tag and the > before query() closes the tag. The rest is text output. View source and you'll see it all. — AbraCadaver

Maybe you can't configured your php for accept <? open tag, try to use <?php

You might need a complete PHP tag:

<?php

You might need to have a "LoadModule" statement in your Apache config file.

LoadModule php5_module        libexec/apache22/libphp5.so

Last, quite often this is the problem --- you need AddHandler:

AddHandler application/x-httpd-php  .php

This is often system dependent. Perhaps your hosting company can help?

OP is not using a hosting company, this is on WAMP.

Then he'll have to fix it himself, I guess ... ;) Which is why I gave him three places to look ... :)
