PHP Failure Inside An MS Office Generated Webpage
Greetings Experts,
I have a problem with getting php to work inside a document that was auto-generated by MS Office (Outlook to be precise). I had some code I wanted to put into the poppersinversion.org newsletter. The newsletter is created in stages, one of which is normally to save an Outlook message to an html file. This time, I decided to put some code in the page. My Linux web host supports php, and I had previously had the code written and tested, but when put in the newsletter page it did not work. In fact NO php code works inside the Office generated page. You can see for yourself at http://www.poppersinversio
Thanks,
NCM

Nope. I downloaded your page and ran it locally and it works fine. For some reason, the PHP code is not being run in that page on your server. That's what you have to look for. See if there is an '.htaccess' file that is blocking it in that directory.
Here is what I see when I install the script, visit the link and view the source.

Other than being mostly useless because of Microsoft markup, the document is "php-correct." So I agree with Dave's assessment -- your server did not parse this page through PHP.
If you have a hosting service, contact the administrators and ask them to find and fix the issue.
On your side of things, you might want to find a different publishing strategy. This document markup is pretty much full of errors, as you can see from a quick check of the validator.

<b style='mso-bidi-font-weight:normal'>Book Reviews</b><br>
<br>
Although we often recommend books in this newsletter, we've not
previously done so as thoroughly as Keith does this quarter with <i
style='mso-bidi-font-style:normal'>The Tropic of Chaos</i> and <i
style='mso-bidi-font-style:normal'>Why the West Rules - For Now</i>.
The first of these was recommended in our last issue, but for
folks who need a little more convincing, here it is. For
anyone who still scoffs at the idea of a coming large-scale dieback
for our species, you'll be surprised to find out how many local
level ‘warning’ diebacks we’ve already had.<br>
<br>
<b style='mso-bidi-font-weight:normal'>What Do You Mean We'll All
Be Able To Agree ... On Everything?<br>
</b><br>
This quarter's "Kernels of 'Truth?'" departs from the
usual email conversation between Keith and me, and instead attempts
to explain what to me was Keith's most vexing assertion, that
"all conflicts between logically exclusive knowledge proposals
are resolvable." In the process you'll find how Keith's
Eight Assertions were distilled from the<span

The For this quarter's KC I'd like to offer a couple of book
reviews. They are for recent books that I believe to be relevant to
<i style='mso-bidi-font-style:normal'>Leaving Truth</i>'s main
thesis, and so have been referencing a lot in my own discussions
and would like to see become more widely read. In particular, both
books are very relevant to the on-line discussions that kicked off
from my last couple of KC articles – <i style='mso-bidi-font-style:
normal'>Problem of the Commons</i>, and <i style='mso-bidi-font-style:
normal'>The Sad Best Case</i>. Each is, in its own way, about our
species' upcoming dieback.<br>
<br>
<br>
1. <i style='mso-bidi-font-style:normal'>The Tropic of Chaos:
Climate Change and the New Geography of Violence</i>. Author,
Christian Parenti. <br>
<br>
Although this book is more journalistic than scholarly, it is well
researched and well written. Prof. Parenti opens with an account of
a recent cattle raid in northern Kenya, in which several of the
participants were killed. He then starts to delve beneath its
surface: What were the real causes of the raid, and why are such
raids becoming increasingly common? His analysis expands,
eventually to cover most of the area suggested by the book's title;
the vast band of poor, marginal and failed states that now
encircles our planet between the tropics of Cancer and Capricorn.
How did conditions in these states become so bad? How culpable are
we in the relatively rich and stable northern hemisphere states?
What effective mitigations, if any, could now be tried; and – with
or without such mitigations – what is the next few decades'
prognosis for the tropical states against their background of still
rapidly rising populations, and our climate disruption and resource
depletion? <br>
<br>
Parenti's overall picture is pretty bleak. His main points are: (1)
That we are highly culpable: (2) That worthwhile mitigations,
though still possible, are of vanishingly small likelihood
politically: (3) That our main present responses can be lumped
under the heading of 'armed lifeboat' preparation. Essentially,
positioning ourselves to close our borders and ride out the coming
storm while our less fortunate neighbors perish: (4) That even
beyond its obvious moral bankruptcy, an armed lifeboat response
will be virtually impossible to implement effectively. That we are,
functionally, all in this together.<br>
<br>
The book's main value in relation to <i style='mso-bidi-font-style:
normal'>Leaving Truth</i> is in showing the degree to which our
collapse has already started, and in suggesting how much worse it
is soon likely to become. Its facts and arguments indicate, as <i
style='mso-bidi-font-style:normal'>Leaving Truth</i> does, that 'business
as usual' will not suffice to take us through this storm. The
radical solution that <i style='mso-bidi-font-style:normal'>Leaving
Truth</i> argues for is not anticipated, but the importance of our
finding and implementing such a solution is strongly is strongly
reinforced. <br>
<br>
<br>
2. <i style='mso-bidi-font-style:normal'>Why the West Rules – For
Now: The Patterns of History, and what They Reveal About the Future</i>.
Author, Ian Morris.<br>
<br>
Again, this is a journalistic rather than scholarly work. Prof.
Morris is pitching to a general educated reader, in short clear
sentences, and with plenty of anecdotal and story telling content
to pull the reader along. Nevertheless, good background scholarship
is provided in the book's appendices and referenced URLs.
Especially praiseworthy is Morris' habit of stating the logical
requirements for all of his more contentious claims; in essence,
clarifying what an opponent would need to establish in order to
controvert them.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

mso-fareast-font-family:"Times New Roman";color:#606060'>The book
opens with a nice alternative history 'reconstruction': Britain as
a vassal state of China, and Queen Victoria receiving a triumphal
Chinese delegation in London. It asks why history took instead the
opposite path: with the Chinese opium war being won by British
gunboats, and Lord Melbourne even being able to force China to foot
the bill for Britain's economic policing action against it. Morris
proposes to answer this through a broad survey of development in
both regions, and starts his analysis from approximately 12,000 BCE
(the end of our last ice age, and – as our populations then
rebounded to a critical density in certain favorable locations –
the beginning of our shift from hunter-gatherer to agricultural
food production). <o:p></o:p></span></p>

11.5pt;line-height:150%;font-family:"Helvetica","sans-serif";
mso-fareast-font-family:"Times New Roman";color:#606060'>He uses
his first few chapters to provide a functional definition of 'East'
and 'West', and to explain and justify his main quantitative tool
for comparison of their industrial and military strengths. He calls
this tool, pretty boldly, a 'social development index'. He picks
four criteria* which, as he explains, can be functionally
quantified from our present paleoanthropological knowledge (from
site excavations, radio-carbon dating, pollen analysis, glacial ice
core analyses, and then increasingly – from about 5,000 BCE forward
– written records). He combines these, with suitable weighting, to
give an overall social development score; and then tracks the fluctuation
of this score for both Eastern and Western towns, city states,
empires and nation states right up to the present. <br>
<br>
The take away points from his analysis are (1) That our present
western lead is shrinking fast, and, barring now unforeseeable new
factors, will disappear completely within the next few decades. (2)
That in both East and West our social development has already hit
several of what he calls 'hard ceilings': Numerical levels that we
could only exceed through some large and fundamental change, such
as the shift from hunting-gathering to agriculture, or
rain-dependent to controlled-river irrigation, or clan chieftain to
religion-supported god-king hierarchal organization. He shows that
we have never been able to pause at these ceilings: That we either
figure out an effective change, and thereby break through to the
next level, or we fall back; with falling back typically involving
most or all of our old 'friends', of draught, famine, war and
epidemic disease. Morris' sober and compelling documentation of how
many times, and how comprehensively, we have already fallen back
forms the book's first important bridge to <i style='mso-bidi-font-style:
normal'>Leaving Truth</i>. I often hear, from the 'nothing's really
broke so nothing needs fixing' majority, that we can't have a
species wide crash because we have never had anything like it so
far. Logically, this position has more holes than a colander; but
Morris here, and Jarred Diamond in his 2005 book <i
style='mso-bidi-font-style:normal'>Collapse</i>, also does us the
favor of controverting it directly on the evidence. As both books
document, we have had many crashes, and right up to the level of
the largest organizational entities (think Roman and British
empires) that were then in existence. To the extent that our
international financial and goods-trading systems have now completed
our 'globalization', our next large crash will necessarily be
species-wide.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

mso-fareast-font-family:"Times New Roman";color:#606060'>Morris'
book also has a second and deeper tie-in to <i style='mso-bidi-font-style:
normal'>Leaving Truth</i>. Its last few chapters are concerned,
like Parenti's book, with how bad our situation is soon likely to
become in the absence of some radical change. But what emerges
clearly from the book's main body – from Morris' impressive review
of our ups and downs of social development in both East and West
over our whole span of evidence-based history – is a deeper understanding
of how bad things have always been. To insert here the first couple
of paragraphs from <i style='mso-bidi-font-style:normal'>Leaving

<br>
</span><span style='font-size:11.5pt;line-height:150%;mso-fareast-font-family:
"Times New Roman";color:#606060'>This collection of essays started
from an epistemological question, about the legitimacy and utility
of our "truth" concept. That might sound bad enough, but
the inquiry then went deeper. It finally ended up at the apparent
discrepancy between the kinds of lives that most of our species and
throughout most of its recorded history have been living, and those
that we say we would rather have been living. To clarify; we seem
to have been requesting pretty much Epicurus' prescription: A dry
roof over our heads, some comfortable and esthetically pleasing
furniture and similar possessions, a sufficiency of tasty and
satisfying food, stability and safety for raising our children, and
a good balance between meaningful and intellectually satisfying
work and enough other quality time for loving and laughing with our
mates, children and friends.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

The deep question arises from these things having always been so
clearly possible—for members of a cooperative species that has
been, in adaptive terms, by so far the biggest and baddest son of a
bitch in the valley—and yet our having so substantially failed to
achieve them. Life for most of us, and most of the time, has
observably contained very few of the Epicurean elements; but
instead plenty of grinding poverty, through gross political and
economic exploitation; and premature death, through war, famine,
pogroms and pestilence.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

causes us to view the past through rose colored spectacles. In the
sense that whatever we did there 'worked' – to the degree of
allowing us to be here – evolution must motivate us to do more of
the same. Its best mechanism for this is to cast a rosy glow over
our memories and history: our happy childhoods, and ‘the good old
days’. Morris' book does the huge favor – for someone like myself,
who is arguing for fundamental change – of temporarily dispelling
that rosy glow.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<br>
In the book <i style='mso-bidi-font-style:normal'>Leaving Truth</i>,
Keith makes 8 "Assertions". In my pdf version, they
start on p. 26. Everything above the essay "Leaving
Truth" ("A Chemical Analogy", Table of Contents,
etc.) count in those 26 pages. In the earlier essay which
morphed into “Leaving Truth” there were 12 statements and they were
called "Points". In the early days, Keith thought
about his philosophy in terms of those Points; at least that is how
he would relate it to others ("This is from Point
1", "That is in Point 5", etc.). <br>
<br>
The very first version of the 12 Points we know of was published in
the James Randi Educational Foundation forum on 2/28/2006.
That post is still online at <a
href="http://www.internationalskeptics.com/forums/showthread.php?t=52936">http://www.internationalskeptics.com/forums/showthread.php?t=52936</a>
. The version printed in this month's "Kernels of
'Truth?'" is from 2007, which is the version I had at the time
of my most active discussions with Keith about the "we'll all
be able to agree" point, #3.<span style='mso-spacerun:yes'>
</span>I have extracted only the 12 Points themselves from that
essay and <a

mso-fareast-font-family:"Times New Roman";color:#606060'>Before
writing this article, I never thought to match up the Points with
the Assertions, although I did realize the first 3 were the same.
Actually, the first 6 are the same, except for word
rearrangements. Point 7 appears to have been jettisoned
entirely. It is either a history lesson or a restatement of
Point 4. However, the part that restates Point 4 does so in a
very illuminating way:<br>

absurd</i> [author's emphasis], can be claimed - through 'faith' -

style='mso-bidi-font-weight:normal'><i style='mso-bidi-font-style:

maintaining our 'truth' concept</i></b> [emphasis mine]. I
will concede have been using it for other tasks; largely, I think,
in order to sustain our illusion of its rational legitimacy. But I
will show that <b style='mso-bidi-font-weight:normal'><i
style='mso-bidi-font-style:normal'>it is only for this particular
task that we have ever needed it</i></b> [emphasis mine]."</span><span
style='font-size:11.5pt;line-height:150%;font-family:"Helvetica","sans-serif";
mso-fareast-font-family:"Times New Roman";color:#606060'><br>
<br>
To continue, Points 8, 9, and 10 appear to have been re-organized
into Assertions 7 and 8. Point 11 has been replaced by the
new Knowledge Selection Procedure (KSP). Point 12 was pretty
much already covered by Point 3, but of course it would never do to
have 11 Points!<br>
<br>
Most of Keith's points seemed valid, even if I did not understand
them fully. I even managed to avoid the trap I see so many
people fall into, of seeing Truth as terminal point on the
certainty axis; such that if we could obtain certainty, or perhaps
even if a certainty existed that we could not obtain, Keith's
thesis would fail.<br>
<br>
But Point 3 was different. What do you mean we will all be
able to agree … on everything? But that's precisely what
Point 3 says, as it's first sentence: "That all conflicts
between logically exclusive knowledge proposals are
resolvable." That's one bold statement, and one that
demands a few caveats which I'll get to later, but it first it
should be clarified. As it stands, it sounds like he's saying
we can obtain certainty, and nothing in the text of Point 3 says
otherwise. What he's actually saying is that any two persons
who abide by his few simple and obvious rules, and approach a question
honestly, will come to agreement on which proposal to <b
style='mso-bidi-font-weight:normal'><i style='mso-bidi-font-style:
normal'>prefer</i></b> if they discuss the matter long enough.<br>
<br>
I call Point 3 the "Sewell Conjecture", and argued with
Keith extensively as to its validity. The initial phase of
our discussion can be found in the <a
href="http://www.poppersinversion.org/pos/2014/kt-2014-09.html">Sep
2014 "Kernels of 'Truth?'"</a>. I was planning to
continue the saga this quarter, but Keith wanted me to translate
the mathematical notation into English, and that time vortex I was
not going to fly into. Instead, I will try to state as
clearly as I can what Point/Assertion 3 actually means.<br>

mso-fareast-font-family:"Times New Roman";color:#606060'>The
importance of Point 3 was never in doubt. Without it, you
have epistemological nihilism - a valid philosophy that is perhaps
more dangerous than the extant invalid ones. But who would
have thought that Truth and knowledge were on a teeter-totter; that
as our Truth concept is abandoned, our ability to acquire knowledge
is enhanced? That is what the Sewell Conjecture is saying,
and what the introductory essay of <i style='mso-bidi-font-style:
normal'>Leaving Truth</i>, "A Chemical Analogy", is
really all about.<br>
<br>
So what are those "few simple rules" that people need to
follow to insure that they will find agreement? Interestingly, you
won't find them in 'Truth?', at least not in bundled form. I'm
sure Keith had them in mind, but they were perhaps too
"obvious" to write down. They were made explicit in
the later essay "Leaving Truth" as the desirable
attributes for a good Knowledge Selection Procedure.
Basically: a KSP should be: <br>
1. Functional – clearly selecting some proposals while
rejecting others<br>
2. Coherent – incapable of selecting logically
exclusive proposals<br>
3. Pragmatic – it must select at least all of our
current proposals that we can see to be essential to our survival.<br>
The third doesn't seem so obvious at first blush, but the longer
you think about it, the more obvious it gets. All sorts of
KSPs might be imagined that are functional, coherent, and totally
useless. Rule #3 applies what mathematicians would call a
"boundary condition" on the functional, coherent family
of KSPs. <br>
<br>
To reiterate, the Sewell Conjecture says that any two people, even
if they are using different Knowledge Selection Procedures – as
long as they are seeking an honest (agenda free) resolution to some
real question (A or not A?), and submit their KSPs to the above
three rules in discussions between them – eventually they will come
to the same decision between A and not A.<br>
<br>
It turns out the Sewell Conjecture is a lot easier to scoff at than
to disprove. It must first be noted that any disproof must be
a work of fiction since the honesty requirement will never be met
in real life (even in science). But even as I worked on
creating a fictional account, Keith always found something wrong
with it. I would go back and work on it some more. I
tweaked my story bit by bit, almost to the point of begging the
question. Keith did finally agree that in this highly
artificial example my two protagonists could honestly come to
different conclusions. <br>
<br>
Fortunately we still have a Point 3 because I was reduced to
begging the question. The whole set of emails with lavish
story line in mathematical notation can scarcely be translated into
English, but it can be summed up in two sentences:
"Throw in whatever other details you need to believe I'm
guilty" and "I have my memory and whatever other
corroborating evidence I need to believe I'm innocent". <i
style='mso-bidi-font-style:normal'>Ergo</i> Point 3 fails, but with
a pragmatically unacceptable degree of artificiality.<br>
<br>
So the Knowledge Selection Procedure is a sound tool for
accomplishing its task. To finish the construction of that
Truth-knowledge teeter-totter, we circle back to that illuminating
section of Point 7 (as quoted above). If the only task for
which we ever <i style='mso-bidi-font-style:normal'>needed</i>
Truth was to uphold empirically ungrounded proposals, then <b
style='mso-bidi-font-weight:normal'><i style='mso-bidi-font-style:
normal'>any chipping away at our collective use of our truth
concept will lift up and fortify empirically grounded ones</i></b>.**<br>

Editorial endnote from Keith: Gary’s statement there, in the bold
type, gives a better cryptic summary of our position than I’ve ever
been able to write. Our acceptance and retention of proposals as
knowledge on the basis of their possession of an implicitly
extra-human property (‘truth’), does seem to our little band here
at Popper’s Inversion to stand in clear logical opposition to our
acceptance and retention of them on the basis of our own ‘merely’
evidence grounded preference. Basically, the two options seem to
represent – as in Gary’s teeter-totter illustration – different and
logically exclusive ways of using human minds; with the implication
that we can initially train, and then further develop, our minds to
be good at the one, <i style='mso-bidi-font-style:normal'>or at the
other</i>. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

its antithesis now offers our last and best hope for being able to
pull back on the joystick hard enough to salvage something like a
landing from our species’ present climate disruption crash dive.
Reason has, potentially, enough strength to ease back on the stick.
But, as I try to show in LT’s first essay, ‘A Chemical Analogy’,
reason is now in something like the condition of Popeye near the
end of a long fight with Brutus. We at PI believe that

Thank you for your replies.
Ray - as far as the publishing strategy goes, you are probably right.
Dave, Ray - The problem is not squarely on the shoulders of my server. As alluded to in my original question, the code I wanted to insert was already tested and working.
Here is a skeletal demo page with the very same php code that was in the newsletter link I gave you:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8">
<title>PHP Working Demo</title>
</head>
<body>
<h3>Text Before PHP code</h3>
<?php
$report = "<p>This sentence is inside php brackets.</p>";
echo $report;
?>
<h3>Text After PHP code</h3>
</body>
</html>
I put it in the same folder as before:
http://www.poppersinversio
The demo works perfectly from my server. So if the newsletter works for you and not me, there must be some interplay between my server and and the newsletter document that causes it to fail on my server. If it helps, I'm linking the php configuration dump here.
The bottom line in this situation is that my hosting service is just going to say their php service works just fine.
Thank you,
NCM

Hmmm, let's rule out encoding problems. Install Notepad++ if you don't have it. Then Open your MS Office auto-generated file in Notepad++. Then at the top, click on "Encoding > Convert to UTF-8 without BOM". Then save your file and upload it to your server to see if that helps.

hielo resolved my issue and thereby earns the most points. Ray Paseur put in significant effort and while he didn't get me to a resolution this time, he did provide me with a resource (validator.w3.org) which I will no doubt make good use of in the future.
That makes sense. I downloaded your file and opened it in my code editor which probably removed the BOM because I certainly didn't see it.
For more information on the issues you may encounter when you're using the less popular (read "fringe") character encodings, check out this article. PHP is making a full-on push to move to UTF-8.

Thanks, Ray.
Dave - I thought of that too, after the question was closed. What if I just take what the browser sees as its "page source" and re-post that as a php file? But right now I've got a deadline to meet.

No, that probably won't work because it doesn't automatically remove the BOM. If your editor will do that, then it will work.
