The PHP code just appears as text on the page?

[redarrow]

opening tags and closing tags are not present are they?

 

 

<?php // open php tag.

 

?> // closing php tag.

But then i get this

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '<' in /home/chaosnz/public_html/test/products.php on line 80

[mikesta707]

you need to surround your PHP code with PHP tags (<?php ?>)
