June 3, 201015 yr comment_8379 Hi, I am new to forum posting but I will do my best :angry: I have been running US 3.3 for a while but decided to finally upgrade to US 5.6. Currently, I have tried both US 5.6.5 and 5.6.6 on windows 7 x86 and my pages load fine, but all my old javascript code that worked in US 3.3 no longer loads! Can anyone help me? Here is a basic code that I started with that used to work, but it no longer works (my apologies to the original author, I can't remember where I originally got this from, but it is a call to a basic javascript function [attached] that shows a countdown timer. Do I need to do something special with 5.6? Thanks in advance for all your help!! <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN""http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd"><html><head><title>Untitled Document</title><meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1"><style type="text/css"><!--#cd { margin: auto; height: 50px; width: 450px; font-family: "Courier New", Courier, mono; font-size: 24pt; color: #000; text-align: center; font-weight: bold; background-image: url(back.jpg); vertical-align: middle;}--></style></head> <body><h1 align="center">Counting Down to New Year's 2020</h1><p align="center">According to the time at Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. </p><script language="JavaScript" SRC="countdown.php?timezone=Asia/Kuala_Lumpur&countto=2020-01-01 00:00:00&do=t&data=WAWASAN 2020"></SCRIPT><p> </p></body></html>countdown.phpindex.html Report
June 3, 201015 yr comment_8380 Problem is with your php script. It is an old script that uses short tags '' and '=' These should be replaced with their long form counterpart. '<?php' and '<?php echo' There is a quick way to test if this is the problemBy default Uniform Server has short tags disabledYou can enable short tags as follows: Edit file UniServer\usr\local\php\php.ini Change this line:short_open_tag = OffTo:short_open_tag = On Please read the note above this line it explains you should not use short tags. All the bestRic :angry: Report
June 3, 201015 yr Author comment_8383 Thanks Ric!! That did the trick. I noticed that the original author was using short tags with "<?" and I fixed that but didn't realize that the equal sign in "<?=" needed to be replaced with an echo statement. Thanks again for all your help! Report
