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

Hi, For testing purpose, I have something like <html> <head><title>Test</title> <body> <p>This is test</p> <?php echo "Hello!"; ?> </body> </html> I see the following from the command prompt when I execute the above script: <html> <head><title>Test</title> <body> <p>This is test</p>Hello </body> </html> On the browser, I only see: <html> <head><title>Test</title> <body> <p>This is test</p> </body> </html> I just realized that the mysql_connect error is a typo, I should have typed mssql_connect. I call this from a different machine, so I shouldn't get this kind of error even if I don't have it installed, right? Or, am I missing something here?

If you're getting this error, there is a line of code in the php script that is trying to connect to a mysql database and the mysql extension for php is not installed. So php doesn't know this function is supposed to do hence, the "undefined function" error. >I can only see the HTML code of the php functions I call within the code at the command output in text format, but I cannot see it on the "browser." I'm a little confused about what you mean here. You shouldn't see any HTML code in your browser.
