A blank page points to a PHP error. Check the PHP error log to get more information about what's happening.

Apart from that it seems like you (or someone else) has modified the source code (e.g. the echo commands in the comment block). These changes might cause such an error.

Please can you give me more details, what kind of error PHP can generate for this case. I uncomment echo, it seems same. please Help

You have a permission problem: The file index.php is owned by user 0 (the root user), while the other script is owned by someone else (probably by "your" user account). Fix the permission/ownership of index.php so that it belongs your user account. You can do this using the commands "chown" and "chgrp" on the command line (or have your hoster do that for you).

thanks for you support, i resolve the problem
