Unable to run php files in wamp

When using WAMP to build a local server, sometimes there will be a problem that PHP files cannot be run. This may prevent you from web development or testing. Here are a few possible causes of this issue and solutions on how to resolve them.

1. PHP version is not compatible

First, you need to make sure that your WAMP server and PHP version are compatible. WAMP server integrates PHP version by default, but if the WAMP server version you download is too old, it may not support the latest version of PHP language. In this case, you need to update your WAMP server to support the latest version of the PHP language.

Solution:

1) Determine whether the distribution version of your Windows system is 64-bit, and then download the corresponding WAMP server version.

2) In the default root directory of WAMP, find the php.ini file and make sure it is the same as the PHP version.

3) If you are using an old version of PHP, you need to upgrade it to the latest version.

2. PHP modules not enabled

Some PHP modules may be disabled by the WAMP server by default. If your PHP file requires support for these modules but they are not enabled, your PHP file will not run properly.

Solution:

1) Select PHP in the WAMP menu, and then select the php.ini file.

2) Find the following code in the file by using Ctrl F: extension=php_XXX.dll (XXX is the module name).

3) Remove the comment and change the statement from ;//extension=php_XXX.dll to extension=php_XXX.dll

4) Restart the WAMP server. If your PHP file requires multiple PHP extensions, enable them all.

3. Apache service is not started

In the WAMP server, Apache runs as a web server. If the Apache service is not started, you will not be able to run PHP files on the server.

Solution:

1) Open the WAMP server and right-click the WAMP icon in the taskbar.

2) Select Apache and then start the service.

3) Wait for the Apache service to start. If the WAMP icon changes from red to green, the Apache service is started.

4) Now you should be able to upload PHP files to the server and run them on the server.

4. Incorrect PHP file location

If your PHP file is located in the wrong folder, it cannot be controlled by the Apache server and displayed on the browser.

Solution:

1) Ensure that the PHP file is correctly saved in the www root directory of the local server.

2) Enter the correct local server address into your browser and make sure your PHP file is saved in the correct folder.

5. PHP Syntax Error

If your PHP file contains syntax errors, it may not run properly. This may prevent the Apache server from outputting pages from the server.

Solution:

1) Enable error logs in the WAMP server.

2) Open the PHP file to find syntax errors.

3) Fix syntax errors and save the file.

Summary

The above are some common problems and their solutions that may cause WAMP to be unable to run PHP files. If you still cannot run the PHP file, please check the directory where the file is located to see if there are syntax errors in the PHP code, or upgrade to the latest version of WAMP server and PHP.
