Problems Implementing PHP-Markdown

StackOverflow https://stackoverflow.com/questions/21373128

Question

I'm experimenting with Michel Fortin's PHP-Markdown library and am having some trouble getting it to work on my server.

I've uploaded the parser library files to my server in a /subfolder. My testmd.php file is one folder up. Currently, I'm using the code below to require_once the files, but my single test line of markdown (a link) is not getting parsed. Is there something else I need to do or include to get the PHP-markdown library working for an example like this?

testmd.php

<?php
require_once ('subfolder/Markdown.inc.php');
require_once ('subfolder/includetest.php');
?>
<html>
    <body>

<?php
use \Michelf\Markdown;
$html = Markdown::defaultTransform('[Test](www.google.com)');
?>

    </body>
</html>

In the code above, includetest.php is just a test include file to be sure I haven't made a mistake there. The file is included in the output, but the MD link is not. No errors appear, so the output looks like:

output

This is text from the includetest.php file.

Since I'm new to PHP, any help is greatly appreciated!

La solution

You're only loading the parser, but you aren't doing anything with it. You need a line like

$my_html = Markdown::defaultTransform($my_text);

...to convert markdown to HTML. Like this:

<?php
require_once ('subfolder/MarkdownExtra.inc.php');
require_once ('subfolder/includetest.php');
?>
<html>
<body>
<?php Markdown::defaultTransform("[Test](www.google.com)"); ?>
</body>
</html>

I haven't used this before. I'm just going by the docs that I can find.
