Re: [PHP] Intro to PHP question
You sure you don't have something like: ?php html . . . Or, perhaps, if you are usin CGI, and you have JUST set it up, and you have the wrong command line flags to execute the input as PHP directly somehow... Does ?php phpinfo();? work?

Re: [PHP] Intro to PHP question
You have managed to confuse the isntallation process and the way Perl works with the way PHP works. If you want to write a custom CGI script for each and every PHP, and prepend #!/usr/local/bin/php, you just MIGHT be able to do it the way you're doing it... But don't do that. :-) Configure Apache to use PHP, and don't make uri.php executable and don't run it from the command line, and use something like: php -q uri.php when you want to run it from the command line.

Re: [PHP] Intro to PHP question
I never work with PHP from the commandline,. but i think it is not possible to use HTML in a php file, so try replacing this: html body?php with ?php echo htmlbody; and replace this: ?/body /html with this: echo /body/html; ?

Re: [PHP] Intro to PHP question
Of course it's possible to output raw html in a php file, that's one of it's fundamental uses! In fact, it's more efficient to switch the php parser off and send raw html as the php parser doesn't need to get involved.
Re: [PHP] Intro to PHP question
If you are running that from the command line, why do you need html? Not sure why you're doing that.

Re: [PHP] Intro to PHP question
I am not a linux expert but it might be because instead of running it like php myprogram.php you are just typing myprogram.php in which case, the file needs to have a comment in the first line telling the shell which interpreter should handle it. Some #!php or something like that, not sure. Anyway, it is just the guess of a non-expert.

Re: [PHP] Intro to PHP question
Why not learn in a web environment if your goal is to build a website? Just create the following file: ?php phpinfo(); ? save it, upload it and view it. If you see the php details you have the system set up as you need it and can just start writing php-driven web pages (the file you are using now is one!). If you really want to run that on the command line, you will need the path to php on the first line of the file. Please, forget the command line stuff unless you want to write command line scripts, and get that file running in a web environment where it belongs. happy to help if you need any more assistance doing that!
