starts with an invalid tag, it appears to me:

 

<!--p

 

should be

 

<?php

 

the you close improperly too.

-->

 

should be ?>

 

that's as far as i can get before my head hurts.

[GingerRobot]

I have to wonder, it what way is an incorrect opening tag "advanced php"?

[env3rt]

Haha the whole thing is html/css besides the beginning

[BlueSkyIS]

I have to wonder, it what way is an incorrect opening tag "advanced php"?

 

it made me feel very advanced to answer the question. i are smrt.

[addtrain]

ok wow. thank you all for the useless replys. jk.

shouldn't it be <?php instead of <!--p ?

anyway, thats the way the host formats it.

[MadTechie]

to advanced for me... or just maybe too little info! ???

maybe they have a parser for that code that replace <--p to <?php

@addtrain is this a single page that is read by the browser? or theres some pages that parse those code

hmm !

 

or how do you save your file sometimes when you save your file as .html php tags is not working
