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

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.
TIA.
