Newbie...PHP code shows in my browser page and not the result.

Hey all,

 

Coming to the funner side of Flash and will be starting to implement PHP.  I have installed PHP and Apache.  I have put some simple PHP code in Dreamweaver, but when I preview it, I only see the source displayed...not what I want to see.  Below is the code that is on my .php file.

<?php
echo date("l, F, js, Y");
?>

Can anyone tell me how to fix this?

Thank you.

sounds to me that php isn't installed correctly.

 

check with

 

<?php

phpinfo();

?>

 

if that file shows nothing, then php isn't working.

You're right.  At first I tried to install PHP and Apache separately.  But instead I installed WAMP and now my PHP file works.

 

Thanks.

XAMPP works fine than WAMP.
