Grid not rendering – Only see code from PHP file

QuestionsGrid not rendering – Only see code from PHP file
Chris asked 9 years ago

When trying to create my first grid, integrated with our MySQL db, I navigate to the PHP file in IE but only see the following "set_options($grid); // set database table for CRUD operations $g->table = "dim_billing"; // render grid and get html/js output $out = $g->render("list1"); ?>"

The PHP file is as follows, please help!:

<?php
include_once("../../config.php");
// include_once("config.php");
// set up DB
mysql_connect(**DB IP**, **User**, **PW**);
mysql_select_db(neto_cm);

// include and create object
include(PHPGRID_LIBPATH."inc/jqgrid_dist.php");

// set few params
$grid["caption"] = "Sample Grid";
$g->set_options($grid);

// set database table for CRUD operations
$g->table = "dim_billing";

// render grid and get html/js output
$out = $g->render("list1");
?>

If i understand the issue correctly, Perhaps, you are not opening php file with webserver url.

It should be something like: http://localhost/folder/file.php
Will not work with C:…..file.php

Hey Abu!

I am trying to open it via http://localhost/folder/file.php, but the IE page just displays what I have above.
Is there some variable or setting or configuration in IIS I may have missed that would cause the grid not to render?

Thanks again!

Check following:

1) Confirm if php is executing by IIS by a test php file (with no grid code).
2) Check if file.php contains starting php tags <?php

Chris answered 9 years ago

It is executing, I can view all of the PHP installation files for PHP Grid.
I put the full PHP file we are trying to use in the initial post, it does include the tags.
It looks like it's just not generating the grid.

Hello,

I can't guess the issue. Can you view source the page and see what html is in output source.
Also check error log file of webserver.

Chris answered 9 years ago

Including view source information below, checked the Webserver-IIS logs and do not see any errors 🙁

<?php
include_once("../../config.php");
// include_once("config.php");
// set up DB
mysql_connect(***, ***, **);
mysql_select_db(**);

// include and create object
include(PHPGRID_LIBPATH."inc/jqgrid_dist.php");

// set few params
$grid["caption"] = "Sample Grid";
$g->set_options($grid);

// set database table for CRUD operations
$g->table = "dim_billing";

// render grid and get html/js output
$out = $g->render("list1");
?>

This looks like your IIS is not parsing + executing php tags.
Refer the mapping case: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/27787932/php-on-iis-displaying-php-code-instead-of-page

Chris answered 9 years ago

Abu, you rock, thank you so much!

That fixed the code display, and after a couple PHP troubleshooting issues, it's working perfectly, and easy to customize!

Thanks again!!
Chris
