Re: PHP scripts in HTML

Hi Don, This wont work as PHP is a server side scripting language. So by the time your page gets displayed in a browser, php has already packed up and gone home. It has done it's job and exited your page. For your webserver to recognise php it must be incompessed in <?php ?> tags, or <? ?>. This is so your webserver knows when to start up php (so to speak). Inserting the <script...> statement like you did is to late, because all of the information has already be passed to the browser and php can't write any more information to the page. Hope this helps.
