I'm trying to print one line of text in my database code and i want it to print under a button i have made in html.

<button id="gen" type="button">Generate tables by clicking here!</button>
<div id="response"></div>
$('#gen').click(function(){
		$('#response').load('createtable.php');			
	});

And this code appears in createtable.php

echo "Tables were set up correctly.";

The problem is that nothing is showing up. If i change the line to

echo "<br>Tables were set up correctly.";

it will print everything after the <br> including the ";?> that closes the php code.

Anyone has any idea why?

Show the contents of createtable.php. You may have unbalanced quotes, braces or other errors.

Why are you including head/html - these should be present in your main file. Just include the php code.

Member Avatar for BlinkOnly

I took out the html tags and code and left the php but it's still giving me the same problems.

Here's my main file if that helps

Doesn't help me, I'm afraid. Anybody else?

Member Avatar for cereal

Try to simplify the problem, create an empty file, without MySQL, write:

<?php
echo "<br>Tables were set up correctly.";
?>

And see what it happens. Bye.

Member Avatar for BlinkOnly

That creates the same problem so I'm guessing it's not the code.

Member Avatar for pzuurveen 
$('#response').load('createtable.php');

this go's wrong if creatatble.php contains things like <html>, <title>, or <head>
for creatatble.php use cereals code and noting else.

Member Avatar for BlinkOnly

Yes, I took out the html tags from that file and only the php code is left but that did not solve the problem.

Member Avatar for pzuurveen

Tested your main with cereals createtable.php
works fine for me

what do you get if you execute createtable.php directly?

Member Avatar for BlinkOnly

If i open createtable.php in a browser it just display the line:

Tables were set up correctly."; ?>

Member Avatar for cereal

Hmm. Apache is running, right?

Member Avatar for BlinkOnly

Yes, I'm using the whole WAMP server.

Member Avatar for BlinkOnly

Ok, so apparently I was running the server wrong and that was the reason for the error...

Thanks to everyone who tried to help!
