Man, he was just asking a simple question, no need to criticize every little aspect of etiquette. Please allow me to be a hypocrite and critique your criticism:
1) If his question gets buried in Yui's thread, no big deal, no one will answer and he will ask it again in a few days. If someone does answer, no second email needed. No harm, no foul.
2) No, the confidentiality notice is not *necessary* according to a strict definition. However, many people that work in the 'real world' actually have *no* control over this as it is automagically added to the end of every email leaving their email servers, **regardless** of user-settings. This is server-side code, not client-side. No harm, no foul.
And yes, as you can probably tell by now, I don't have a problem with top posting either. I apologize if I have offended someone. Nevertheless, no need to point me to the Usenet diatribes... you won't sway me.

Some people use threaded mail clients, and your "getting started" will end up under Yui's thread. 2. Is it *necessary* to have a confidentiality notice that's just about equal in bulk to your message? If it's part of a canned sig, why not create a little simple one for this list. On to your question. Since you don't have all the code posted here, I suspect something is going on earlier in the file. Maybe you have an opening PHP tag, and a line without a semi-colon to terminate it. Why not try again, with just a single line file: <? phpinfo(); ?> Once that works, then expand it.
