I am not a linux expert but it might be because instead of running it like
php myprogram.php
you are just typing
myprogram.php
in which case, the file needs to have a comment in the first line telling
the shell which interpreter should handle it. Some
#!php
or something like that, not sure.
Anyway, it is just the guess of a non-expert.

Subject: Intro to PHP question
Hi all,
I am using a linux server. When the php file below (uri.php) is run from
the command line I get the following error. Any ideas on what I could do
differently?
Thanks for any help,
Jonathan
../uri.php: line 1: syntax error near unexpected token `newline'
../uri.php: line 1: `<html>'
<html>
<body><?php
$d=date("D");
if ($d=="Fri")
echo "Have a nice weekend!";
else
echo "Have a nice day!";
?></body>
</html>
Kind Regards
Jonathan Kahan
