[You don't need *all* of those, just the ones you need for whichever way you are trying to install PHP.] So what happens is that the browsers "sees" your PHP source. <?php echo '<p> turns into some '?php' tag the browser doesn't know about, so it just ignores it. </p> turns into a paragraph closing tag. And ; ?> is just bad HTML. Use "View Source" And, while you're at it, get Firefox and the HTML Validator extension to to Firefox (aka Tidy) Then train yourself to keep an eye on that bottom-right corner where you see if your HTML is "good" or not. -- Some people have a "gift" link here.
