PHP not working on mobile version of Responsive Web Design - please help!

[madcat296]

Hi,

I'm using some simple PHP to display a list of courses on my website and all appears OK on the desktop site but not on the mobile version of the page. I've inserted a rectangle shape and inserted the PHP as placeholder. On the mobile version of the page, I've changed the PHP to be super-simple, to ensure it was nothing to do with something in my PHP that was causing the problem, and all that's in the placeholder is:

<?php
echo 'hello world';
?>

The page is http://www.mindfulnessassociation.co...ing/level1.php

Any help in understanding why the PHP doesn't work on the mobile version of the page would be SO much appreciated as this is driving me nuts!

Thanks,
Heather

Check that the placeholder is not placed in the mouse over area. It has happened to me often. You can just drag and drop it into the the mouse off section

Hi Heather,

Welcome to TG. I'm a bit unsure what you're trying to achieve here. If your site is written in solely in php then your server reads that and serves up the html to the visitor. Are you using a mixture of html & placeholders with php? If so, why is the page being served via php?

An update:

When I look at the php file that Xara has generated and that is on the server, the desktop variant has in it:

<div class="xr_noreset " style="position: absolute; left:336px;top:1210px;width:552px;height:236px;">
<?php
require ("configuration.php");

//SET UP SOME PARAMETERS FOR THE USAGE OF THIS CODE
$tt=0; //we want non-teacher-training courses here
$orderBy="ORDER BY Location_name, Start_date ASC";
$reqLevel="Level 1 - Being Present";

include 'functions.php';

displaySimpleCourseList($tt, $orderBy, $reqLevel);

?>
</div>

and this in the mobile variant of the same file:

<div class="xr_group">
<span class="xr_rn_ xr_ar" style="left:20px;top:1393px;width:439px;height:263 px; background:url('index_htm_files/1665.png') 0px 0px no-repeat; background-size: 439px 263px;"></span>
</div>

Surely this is a Xara bug? Xara has generated a .png file for the php in the placeholder of the mobile variant, which the server can never interpret as php!

Best wishes,
Heather

Does the php work in the desktop variant Heather?

Yes it does

Thanks so much for the suggestions - I've checked and it's in the mouse off section.
