Hi all,

Dave,

I am attempting to use html for learning purposes. My goal is to begin working on a website. 

Tijnema,

I tried the below and got the following errors. I can't imagine the error on line 3 is a tag issue.

Jonathan

[root@ip-XXX-XXX-XX-XXX cgi-bin]# ./uri.php
./uri.php: line 2: ?php: No such file or directory
./uri.php: line 3: syntax error near unexpected token `"D"'
./uri.php: line 3: `$d=date("D");'
[root@ip-XXX-XXX-XX-XXX cgi-bin]# vi uri.php
[root@ip-XXX-XXX-XX-XXX  cgi-bin]# vi uri.php

<?php
$d=date("D");
if ($d=="Fri")
  echo "Have a nice weekend!";
else
  echo "Have a nice day!";
?>

  If you are running that from the command line, why do you need html? Not sure why you're doing that.
