first program

[phpbill]

I'm a newbie trying to learn PHP and having trouble with first example I'm keying in from O'Reilly's 'Learning PHP5'. The programs are as follows: 

SAYHELLO.HTML 
[code<form methos="POST" action="sayhello.php"> 
YourName: <input type="text" name="user"> 
<br/> 
<input type="submit" value="sayhello"> 
</form>

 

SAYHELLO.PHP

<?php> 
print "Hello, "; 
print $_POST['user']; 
print "!"; 
?> 

 

Whenever I enter a name and submit it, instead of displaying the name it displays the entire PHP program as follows:

print "Hello, "; print $_POST['user']; print "!"; ?>

 

What am I doing wrong. My system is Windows XP SP3 with the latest wampserver download.

Thanks for any help.

make sure you're saving the two files in WAMPS www folder (C:\wamp\www) and you're going to http://localhost to run your scripts.

 

 

EDIT: I noticed in sayhello.php the first line is:

<?php>

Remove the > it's not needed, this will cause problems.
