Re: 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.

Hi all, I am using a linux server. When the php file below (uri.php) is run from the command line I get the following error. Any ideas on what I could do differently? Thanks for any help, Jonathan ../uri.php: line 1: syntax error near unexpected token `newline' ../uri.php: line 1: `<html>' <html> <body><?php $d=date("D"); if ($d=="Fri") echo "Have a nice weekend!"; else echo "Have a nice day!"; ?></body> </html> Kind Regards Jonathan Kahan -------------------------------------------------------------------- Systems Developer Estrin Technologies, inc. 1375 Broadway, 3rd Floor, New York, NY, 10018 -------------------------------------------------------------------- Email: jonathan@estrintech.com Web: http://www.estrintech.com -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php -- No virus found in this incoming message.
