RE: [PHP] PHP Runs But Does Not Display on Linux

Hi, Oops, I should have typed mssql_connect() instead of mysql_connect(). But, I have just used something like <?php echo "Hello!" ?>, which nests around a chunk of HTML, and this only gives me the following on the screen: <html> <head><title>Hello</title> <body> </body> </html> My question is why I could see Hello in the body when I execute this from the command line. Do I have to install anything else? Apache is not the thing, is it?

If you type the following at the command line: php -m | grep mysql and nothing prints out, you'll need to install the rpm that provides mysql-related functions and restart apache.
