I'm a clueless newbie who just downloaded php-4.3.0-Win32 to Win 98, and am
having multiple problems.
1. When I click on the manual's test program ("Hello World") in IE 6.0, it
brings up a MSDOS box, rather than execute the php file. I can't find
anything in the manual that says how to get a php file to operate locally
from a browser. Any Suggestions?
2. Also, I found that in order to get cli/php.exe to execute from the
command line, I had to copy php4ts.dll into the cli directory. So maybe
that's a bug in the installation program.
3. But when I aimed cli/php.exe at the test file, it just echoed the code,
rather than execute it! Huh?
4. I uploaded the test file to my host, who's running a v. 4.3.0.3 server
and got the error message that the parser expected a '('' on line 11.
The code is:
<html> <head> <title>PHP Test</title> </head>
<body> <?php echo "Hello World<p>"; ?> </body>
</html>
so there is no line 11!
Even when I gave it parens:
<html> <head> <title>PHP Test</title> </head>
<body> <?php echo ("Hello World"); ?> </body>
</html>
I got the same error message.
All suggestions will be welcomed!
