AV1611 Posted March 8, 2006 Share Posted March 8, 2006 While I don't see a problem with the code, let me ask you this: What is the filename the code is in? If it is in a file with .HTML you will get odd results... It needs to be in a file with the .PHP extension...

txmedic03 Posted March 9, 2006 Share Posted March 9, 2006 The server can be configured to execute PHP script from any file extension. This is, however, not adviseable.
