Re: Intro to PHP question

["Jonathan Kahan" <jonathan@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi all,

I went to a website called php-cli.com and found that i needed to type #!/usr/bin/php -q in the header line. Once I typed that, my script without the HTML tags executed. 

Thanks again,

Jonathan

  AFAIK you can't run a php file directly, or you need to add #!/bin/php or something to the first line, but you can run it with 
  php ../uri.php
  but i suggest you to run it from a webserver like apache.

  *if you don't have it, i can give you a few MB to try PHP out

    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.
