Daniel: But of course. I never considered that the "<" in both the HTML (<!doctype html>) and the PHP (<?php) would cause the browser to wig-out and not display the contents of the file -- good catch! I knew there was something wrong -- I just didn't realize that the Browser was trying to think for me. That'll teach me to use a Browser as a hex-viewer.
