Simple PHP echo code not working

Any of these (or more) could be your answer why it is not working

1. Is there actually PHP running on your computer?
2. Is the file extension .php?
3. Are you accesing the file through your browser doing something like http://localhost/myfile.php
4. If it is on a remote server, is there PHP installed?

Simple PHP code not working

If you look at "View source" you will likely see the < ?php-tags, meaning PHP is not executed.

If your file called something.php then the settings on your WAMP is wrong, somehow.

Unable to echo or print from PHP functions

Just use keep your code inside a function and call the function name while post your input

Ex:

function yourFunctionName(){
    if (array_key_exists("saveData", $_POST)) {
        $saveData = $_POST['saveData'];
        $token = $_COOKIE['validToken'];
        $token = mysqli_real_escape_string($link, $token);
        $query = "UPDATE userData SET saveData = '$saveData' WHERE token = '$token' LIMIT 1";
        mysqli_query($link, $query);
    }
    if (array_key_exists("logSubmit", $_POST)) {
        $email = $_POST["logEmail"];
        $email = filter_var($email, FILTER_SANITIZE_EMAIL); // Clean Email
        $email = filter_var($email, FILTER_VALIDATE_EMAIL); // Confirm Valid Email
        $query = "SELECT saveData FROM userData WHERE email = '$email' LIMIT 1";
        $loadData = mysqli_query($link, $query);
        echo("SALO Ready!");
    }
}

PHP code is not being executed, but the code shows in the browser source code

Sounds like there is something wrong with your configuration, here are a few things you can check:

1. Make sure that PHP is installed and running correctly. This may sound silly, but you never know. An easy way to check is to run php -v from a command line and see if returns version information or any errors.

2. Make sure that the PHP module is listed and uncommented inside of your Apache's httpd.conf This should be something like LoadModule php5_module "c:/php/php5apache2_2.dll" in the file. Search for LoadModule php, and make sure that there is no comment (;) in front of it.

3. Make sure that Apache's httpd.conf file has the PHP MIME type in it. This should be something like AddType application/x-httpd-php .php. This tells Apache to run .php files as PHP. Search for AddType, and then make sure there is an entry for PHP, and that it is uncommented.

4. Make sure your file has the .php extension on it, or whichever extension specified in the MIME definition in point #3, otherwise it will not be executed as PHP.

5. Make sure you are not using short tags in the PHP file (<?), these are not enabled on all servers by default and their use is discouraged. Use <?php instead (or enable short tags in your php.ini with short_open_tag=On if you have code that relies on them).

6. Make sure you are accessing your file over your webserver using an URL like http://localhost/file.php not via local file access file://localhost/www/file.php

And lastly check the PHP manual for further setup tips.
