Help a noob!

[marco423]

ok so im finding whenever i link to a file, the PHP code will not show up, only the html code. for example:
if i link to one.php and its contents are:
<?php
echo hello;
?>
This is my html code.


only this is my html code will show up. not hello.
could it be like an installation error? or what please help me.

when using a string, make sure you have the string in between quotes.

e.g.

instead of:
echo hello;

use:
echo 'hello';

that doesnt make a difference

[Goldie_]

- open php.ini
- find display_errors
- change it to "display_errors = On"
- save it and close it
- restart server

then you'll see where is the error
