probably about to embarrass myself but i'm looking at the PHP manual page "Your first PHP-enabled page", which suggests this as an initial PHP program: <html> <head> <title>PHP Test</title> </head> <body> <?php echo '<p>Hello World</p>'; ?> </body> </html> but if i enter, then browse to that page, i get as browser output: ===== hi world '; ?> ===== um ... what's with those trailing characters? did i just do something hideously dumb? misconfiguration? You probably don't have PHP enabled in your web server configuration. Try doing a view-source on that page.
