I was saying, If I paste this into a webpage I only get the "HTML" line as before. Anyone have any ideas? PHP is obviously working as is apache. Just don't understand why they don't show up in web pages. Cheers again all!
From: Shreyas Agasthya on 5 Oct 2010 07:03 Col, Can you let us know what exactly you see when you say http://localhost:/phptest.php ?

From: "Col Day" on 5 Oct 2010 07:54 Hi Shreyas, Ok, as far as I can tell the script should show "This is an HTML line" reflecting that I am seeing the HTML part of the script followed by "This is a PHP line" to show that PHP is installed and working fine. If I view the script directly in IE by going to http://localhost/phptest.php I get the output: This is an HTML line This is a PHP line followed by a large and detailed list of the PHP install which includes things like compiler language etc. If I paste the script into a web page then all that is displayed is This is an HTML line. Nothing else whatsoever. I am fairly confused. I've tried a couple of different web page creators (Webplus 10 and Web page maker) and get the same result. Sorry if I sound extremely naive but it's bugging me now and I want to understand.
