Strange php results

PHP
1

Hi, Please help! I have a localhost folder, in xampp/htdocs/ which has both a php file (payment.php) and a
html file (sysnav.html). The sysnav file includes a statement,
<a href="http://localhost/kirkplace/payment.php">. The prob is that the file displayed is a previous
html file named payment.html. I have cleared cache, system restore, checked for and deleted any and all
other payment files and kirkplace folders. I still can’t access the current payment.php.

Are there any form action attributes or header redirects that still point to payment.html?
Does pressing Ctrl F5 help to bring up a fresh page?
In what way are you trying to go to payment.php? A link?
Can you go directly to http://localhost/payment.php Or the correct path to your file?

Why do you think it’s showing you payment.html?
Have you changed payment.php in a way that it absolutely cannot be the same?
Are you sure that localhost/ is pointing at the htdocs folder still? Or have you modified your XAMPP config to point to a different DocumentRoot?

A link? - If I use http://localhost/payment.html I get past file. If I go to the folder in which payment.php and payment.html are and click the form "payment.html" I now get the correct payment.html but then the result shown below Preformatted text the form code:

    if ($amtpaid < $amtdue) { $amtdue = 0; $latechg = $latechg + 35.00; $prevbal = $amtdue - $amtpaid; }
    /* if payment = amtdue */
    elseif ($amtpaid == $amtdue) { $prevbal = 0; $latechg = 0; }
    /* if over-payment subtract over-payment from prevbal */
    elseif ( $prevbal = $amtpaid - $amtdue) {$latechg = 0; }
    
    // mysql query to Update data    
    $query = "UPDATE paytbl SET amtpaid = :amtpaid, prevbal = :prevbal, latechg = :latechg, 
datepaid = :datepaid WHERE unit = :unit";    
    $pdoResult = $pdoConnect->prepare($query);    
    $pdoExec = $pdoResult->execute(array(":amtpaid"=>$amtpaid,":prevbal"=>$prevbal,":latechg"=>$latechg,

Didn’t you say payment.html WAS your past file. Why are you linking to it? I thought you said you removed the html file. Remove payment.html or remane it to OLDpayment.html and set your link to payment.php as you were looking for in OP.
