It was something rather stupid I copy pasted the code from a pdf file. It used non standard quotes in the echo line (UTF-8 instead of ASCII). echo â<p>This is a PHP line</p>â; instead of echo "<p>This is a PHP line</p>";
Since PHP doesn't parse incorrect blocks of code I got a blank screen. to protect your privacy/and your code (copyright you know)
The moral of the story: never copy paste pieces of programming. I still hear my professor programming say it.
Thanks a lot to anyone who tried to help.

I am not sure what you expect to see but what you should see in view source
is only the HTML output of the phpinfo() function.
At present your code does have one problem which may be causing you problems
and this
echo â<p>This is a PHP line</p>â;
Should be
echo '<p>This is a PHP line</p>';
That is use a single (') quote and not (") quote. Change it to a single '
and see how you go then

CLI<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN"> <HTML><HEAD> <META http-equiv=Content-Type content="text/html; charset=windows-1252"></HEAD> <BODY></BODY></HTML>
this is what I get when I view the source
And the following is in test.php
<html> <head> <title>PHP Test</title> </head> <body> <p>This is an HTML line</p> <?php echo â<p>This is a PHP line</p>â; phpinfo(); ?> </body> </html>
Quite curious is it not?
