Are you getting anything at all, or only one line?
Just a quick thought as not got much experience with php but you have named the file .php or configured your webserver to treat html files as php.
Otherwise it's not gonna parse the php right?
if i save it as .php
-i get absolutely nothing
if i save it as .html
-i can see the html parts of the page yet the text file read (php part) does not show.
:/ ive spent like 3 hours on this over tonight and last night and i cant get the bloody thing to work.....very stressful!
But if you are getting nothing when the file is saved with a .php extension, it sounds like your host doesn't support php.
create a file called info.php and it should contain the following three lines and nothing but (everything between but not including the "begin" and "end"):
begin file
<?php
phpinfo();
?>
end file
Then open up that file. If that works, go back to your original file and outside any conditional statements, just put a line like
echo "PHP is working";
If that works, put another one after the if statement
echo "File successfully opened";
Keep doing that and you should see where the problem is right quick.
You said you were a real beginner - you're not working locally and opening the PHP file straight in your browser without going through the server are you?
