Hey guys,

 

I am trying to add some php to my website .. currently i was building the HTML frame of the site.

 

i am working on my pc with a wamp server as a localhost

 

now as i was trying to use PHP ( include() , echo , etc.. ) does not seem to be working,

 

the html and the website is running just fine and is not giving me any problems.

 

any suggestions on how to get the PHP to work ? 

 

any extra info needed to solve this issue ?

 

thank guys

 

cheers,

a) what URL are you using in your browser's address bar to request the main page? it should be http://localhost/your_main_file_name.php

 

b) partly related to the above, what extension does your file have, this must be .php

 

c) what opening php tags are you using? using full <?php tags will always work, short ones <? not so much.

 

d) partly related to the above, what does the 'view source' in your browser of your page containing php code look like?
