Check out the other responses, but another thought is that you may not have your web server configured to process .PHP files properly. If it thinks it's a text file, it won't pass it through the PHP script interpreter. Go back over the instructions for installing PHP on your web server and make sure that you have .PHP and it's associated MIME type pointing to your php.exe for processing. If you need specifics, check the PHP Installation instructions or post another note to the list. Sorry, I don't have enough time right now to dig up the info. Just wanted to point you in that direction as a possibility. -TG > -----Original Message----- > From: aomarlow [mailto:aomarlow@xxxxxxxxx] > Sent: Monday, November 22, 2004 10:36 PM > To: php-windows@xxxxxxxxxxxxx > Subject: What's wrong with these two programs? > > > Hi, > > Can anyone tell me what's wrong with the two following > programs?
