For starters, <php is not a valid delimiter. Use <?php to start the code and ?> to end it. Is Apache and php configured correctly? Have you tried a simple <?php echo "It works.";?> type script to test the server?

[navi17]

yes... php,apachie and mysql are configured correctly...

yes scripts are running.............
everything is going well..
i hv also tried
<?php
>?
bt again d proble is same while running dis script.

<?php
mysql_connect("localhost", "root", "mars11") or die(mysql_error());
echo "Connected to MySQL<br />";
>?

wat should i do???
