Unparsed code on front-end pages

[modifiedcontent]

If I get unparsed code like this on my homepage:

Spoiler

compile(\ProcessWire\wire("config")->paths->root . 'site/templates/_head.php',array('includes'=>true,'namespace'=>true,'modules'=>true,'skipIfNamespace'=>true))); ?> compile(\ProcessWire\wire("config")->paths->root . 'site/templates/_nav.php',array('includes'=>true,'namespace'=>true,'modules'=>true,'skipIfNamespace'=>true))); ?>

{$page->body}

 

...

What does that mean? What is PW missing? What misconfiguration would produce this result?

And the admin area works as normal.

I am troubleshooting an attempt to install Processwire on Amazon EC2, but suspect this could be an unrelated issue.

Maybe a silly question, but is php properly installed on your server?

PHP should be installed properly. The installation procedure gave no signs of problems and the admin area works as normal.

It looks like some of the unparsed code is from the file compiler, and that you are using the new 'regions' markup thingy(?).

What is in your code immediately before {$page->body}?

Not consciously... ;-|

Could bad syntax in a template really bring down the entire front-end?

I have this in my home page template:

<div class=left><? echo "<p>{$page->body}</p>" ?></div>

That is wrong on many levels... Not sure how that got there.

<? ?> is removed in php 7.0  is only available with short_tags enabled in php, which it isn't by default, use <?= ?>, which are always available.

See here: http://php.net/manual/de/language.basic-syntax.phptags.php

Thanks!

Is there a way to enable short_tags via command line, 'sudo something'? I'd still prefer to use <? ?> instead of <?= ?>

To be clear, I should search/replace as follows?

<? echo      becomes     <?=

<?        becomes       <?php

It's mentioned in the linked docs page. You'd need to edit your php.ini. In case of an ubuntu os it's somewhere in /etc/php[7.0]/

After fixing what I could, I still get this bit at the bottom of each page with front-end editing enabled:

editable()) { echo "EDIT"; } ?>

So I guess there is even a bad php tag in that module somewhere.

It would be helpfull if we could see your template files and includes (like footer.inc), I suspect there's still some mistake there - Oculi plus vident quam oculus

You're right matjazp, missed one more <? in the footer.

Apparently you can also enable short tags support by adding this line to .htaccess:

php_value short_open_tag 1
