You either didn't install PHP at all, or didn't configure Apache and/or PHP correctly, and PHP is not running when you request somename.php Exactly what went wrong is difficult to guess at without more info... You may want to work on getting a simpler script to work, namely: <?php phpinfo();?> Name this as, say, "phpinfo.php" and surf to it. It will be blatantly obvious when it works. :-) General Principles: If you think Apache/PHP should be working, examine the Apache error_log file, and re-start Apache, and examine the output of that restart of Apache as well. Odds are good something in all that will tell you what is wrong. Also search through all of httpd.conf for "php" and see if it all seems to make sense and the relevant bits are not commented out. -- Like Music? http://l-i-e.com/artists.htm -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
