Are you opening the .php file directly with your browser or via a web server? Does the web server have PHP support, and is it enabled? (PHP is server side, not browser side). Try creating the simple file on the webserver "phpinfo.php" containing just ------------------------- <?php phpinfo(); ?> ------------------------- This should look something like http://66.225.219.162/~rvadmin/phpinfo.php when opened via your web server.
