I've just set up my Apache server with mySql and PHP, and for the most part 

everything works fine, except:

I can't embed PHP in an HTML file  (if my server starts up with INDEX.HTML I 

can't do anything with PHP, is this possible, or am I just off the deepend 

here?)

Rename the file INDEX.PHP

Also, when I run a PHP file, it doesn't seem to pay any attention to the \n 

in the echo or print statements.  I copied the examples straight from the 

examples on PHP.Net, and I installed everything exactly as the instructions 

said to, but from reading all the comments and such, it appears I'm the only 

one having these problems?  What's going on/what am I doing wrong? 

Some of the material is a little dated.

Example file INDEX.PHP:

<?php

print "This is a test for Bryan (only \\n)\n";

print "This should be on a new line but it isn't\n";

print "<br><br>\n"; # make new lines in html output and start again

print "This is a test for Bryan (both &lt;br&gt; and \\n)<br>\n";

print "This should be on a new line and it is<br><br>\n";

print "<b>View the page source.</b><br>\n";

?>
