I'm just trying to echo a string to the browswer with the following code:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<body>
<h1>Hello World!</h1>
<?php
echo "My first PHP script!";
?>
</body>
</html>
but it doesn't show up in the browswer. The "Hello world!" header shows up but not the php statement. I know it must be something very simple. Could someone help me out?
Are you viewing this locally? Do you have a web server with php running? Is your script a PHP file?
In other words: PHP scripts should have a .php exstension (not .html) and should be run on a PHP enabled web server (could be localhost or a server embeded into your IDE).
