WSparrow Posted January 15, 2011 Share Posted January 15, 2011 If you're using html on this page you could also use something like: <h1>Hello my name is <?php echo $_SESSION['user_name'];?></h1> etc. etc. Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/224552-need-help/#findComment-1159922 Share on other sites More sharing options...

ignace Posted January 15, 2011 Share Posted January 15, 2011 Clearly PHP isn't installed due to the < and > it's not rendered by the browser. Make sure you started with <?php and not <? (try running it again). If you are running this on your computer, then install WampServer or XAMPP otherwise ask your tutor for guidelines on where you need to put these files and which extension they should have (.php; .php5; .php4; .php3; .phtml; ..).
