confusing ouput!

For a trial, I saved the following input in ..\apache\htdocs as suggested. <html> <head> <title>Today's Date</title> </head> <body> <p>Today's Date (according to this web server) is <?php echo( date('1, F ds Y.') ); ?></p> </body> </html> But this is the only thing I could see on my browser: "Today's Date (according to this web server) is" After severeral trials and inspecting the httpd.conf configuration file, I tried the following input: <html> <head> <title>PHP Test</title> </head> <body> <?php echo "<p>Hello World</p?"; ?> </body> </html> This time nothing appeared on my browser. I'd really appreciate some help with this one. I installed apache 1.3 as a server and it runs fine each time I click on "Start Apache in Console" I'm mainly interested in using these facilities for my private learning so I chose to use PHP as a module in apache - I'm a newbie to this affair! So I hope this wasn't a wrong decision. Nevertheless, the follwing are the few lines I added to the httpd.conf. file: #LoadModule php4_module c:/php/sapi/php4apache.dll #AddType application/x-httpd-php .php #AddType application/x-httpd-php .php3 #AddType application/x-httpd-php .phtml #AddType application/x-httpd-php-source .phps #AddModule mod_php4.c #<Directory "c:/Program Files/Apache Group/Apache/htdocs"> I'd appreciate to hear/read from anyone who has managed to solved this sort of problem before.
