new to php

<input type="text" name="form[login]" value="<?php print $form[login] ?>" maxlength="8" >

 

 

when i see in dreamweaver the text box is containing "<?php pr" which is of length 8 but i don't want that to happen what would be the cause

what would be the cause

 

PHP not configured properly on your server maybe.

 

Have you created a test page?

 

<?php

phpinfo();

?>

 

And does that produce output?

first off ditch the dreamweaver and grab a text editor

Dreamweaver is a text editor, and there's nothing wrong with him being new to php and using it.

 

That looks like your server isn't parsing php.

If he's using dreamweaver's code view and then writing the line and trying to look at it in the design view it won't work properly. He would have to upload it to a webserver or view it on his local computer if he has a php installation.
