I'd try to insert a simple echo statement, and figure out why it's not returning anything.
try a file named phpinfo.php ----------------snip-------------- <?php phpinfo(); ?> ----------------snip--------------- if your web server implementation is correct that should work. good luck, Warren Vail -----Original Message----- From: Dan Aloma [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, February 13, 2004 12:38 PM To: Vail, Warren Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [PHP] [Q]PHP not taking input values from forms when i run that, it doesn't show return anything. I really don't understand what's going on with php. I know it's working fine, it's just not returning anything. Even scripts that I KNOW for a fact should be working (i.e. they work for everyone else), don't work for me. Any other ideas? I REALLY need to get this running, and it's upsetting because I don't get what's going on.
