Ok.
Just tested this on another machine as well, and I now see if I go to the
phpInfo link on the WAMP server homepage on either machine it does seem to
work, but not in my own pages.
Also, rechecked on both machines, and I actually noticed that the very first
line:
<? php session_start(); ?>
does in fact seem to be being processed/disappears, but the rest of the php
code is still rendering unprocessed in those pages, so who knows.
Maybe I should actually send some of you my actual page file in case there's
something strange therein that I'm not noticing - who knows.
Stay well

does
<?php
phpinfo();
?>
return anything?

Ok.
Been trying out various things including double-checking if my error
display
settings were there etc. etc., and finally sort of figured out what was
going wrong when I eventually saved the output of main.php from internet
explorer after it was still not showing any output, and then I sort of
discovered that for whatever reason, the PHP code isn't actually being
interpreted/processed since it still shows up in the html source thereof.
FWIW, here's the complete source code of that main.php file (as it
appears
when I edit it, or when I save it from IE):
<?php session_start(); ?>
<!doctype html public "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 //EN">
<html>
<head>
<title>Admin main page</title>
</head>
<body>
<? php
echo "admin?: " . $_SESSION["admin"] . "<br />";
echo "What the hell!?!?!?";
?>
</body>
</html>
Anyideas (and FWIW, I have tried changing various small things, but who
knows...)?
