what is the ugly code?

(it reaaaally looks like its the short_open_tag = on thing... are you sure your server is correctly reading this? you can check it on joomla's backend -> system info -> php information, search for the value of this tag and you'll see if its on or off)

Hi! Thanks for your quick reply!
what do you mean by joomla's backend -> system info -> php information?
do you mean on the administration page of joomla->configuration->system? i cannot see php information...

What I did was a search of the file php.ini and then insi de I searched the short_opne_tag variable that I set to On with the notepad editor...


The ugly code is:
$points) $grey="_grey"; $java = "id='star".$i."_".$album_id."' onclick='".$funcio."($i,$album_id);' onmouseover='stars($i,$album_id);' "; $add_java = ""; if($album_id) $add_java = $java; $return .= ""; } return $return; } function time_to_string($total_time){ $segons = $total_time % 60; if($segons = 60){ $minuts_60 = $minuts % 60; $hores = ($minuts - $minuts_60)/60; if($minuts_60 0){ $total_time = $hores.":".$minuts_60.":".$segons; } else $total_time = $minuts.":".$segons; return $total_time; } function createThumbnail($file, $alt, $width, $image_attr = array(), $params = array()){ $params = &JComponentHelper::getParams( 'com_muscol' ); if($params->get('thumbs_mode')){ return JHTML::image('components/com_muscol/helpers/image.php?file=' .JPATH_SITE.DS.'images'.DS.'albums'.DS. $file .'&width=' . $width, $alt , $image_attr ); }else{ if($width

yes, theres php information there. look better!!! the last tab is PHP INFORMATION

and YES, this ugly code is because of the short_open_tags... which still definitely OFF!!!

on that info page, you'll see where the PHP.INI file is located! so open it, search for that property, and change it! (maybe you'll have to restart your Xampplite in order for the chages to take effect)

I have this page when I click on Music collection or on the link MC albums...

Wow wow!!!that's running!

Thanks a lot!

To summarize your answers:
- i definetely don't have this php info on the administration panel...
- i stopped xammp and restarted it and now it's running well!

Thanks,

Julien

well, believe me, the php info is there. maybe you are entering as administrator instead of SUPER administrator? (I believe admins dont see php info, only super admins)
