Problem with IIS 1.3.2

[needslotsofhelp]

I seem to be having a problem running zencart on an IIS server. It doesn't want to process the code for some reason and just outputs it on it's own (the actual code I wrote down). so for example

get_template_dir('tpl_search_top.php',DIR_WS_TEMPLATE, '','sideboxes'). '/tpl_search_top.php'); echo $content;

It will output this when When my code was

require(get_template_dir('tpl_search_top.php',DIR_WS_TEMPLATE, '','sideboxes'). '/tpl_search_top.php'));
echo $content;

And if I try to comment it out, it still outputs the same thing. It only stops when I delete the code completely.

I tried running it on an apache server and it worked perfectly there and it used to work on the IIS server before as well, don't understand what could've happened.

Can anyone help me here?

You said "IIS 1.3.2" ... I'm not sure exactly what you mean there.

What version of IIS are you using?
What version of Zen Cart are you using? Have you tested this same problem with the current version of Zen Cart?
What addons have you installed?

[needslotsofhelp]

we are using IIS 6.0.

I installed Zencart 1.3.5 or 1.3.0.2 not sure (it was the one that had the brown default page on it as an example sales page, 1.3.0.2 I think, 1.3.5 had green I believe).

We have another 1.3.0.2 version on it and although it has a lot of problems it doesn't have this one in particular.

Like I said this problem does not occur on my apache server, only the IIS that I am using.

Has, anything like this ever happened?

I'm not sure what's causing it, however, it would appear that it could be the PHP configuration on your IIS setup.
I don't think I can give you any guidance on what to fix or where.
I would suggest that a fresh upload -- ideally of the latest version (1.3.7 today) -- would help potentially get around any possible file-corruption issues.
