AW: [PHP] Newbie question: Basic knowledge

thanks a lot for the feedback, but I must confess it didn't work. I tried to create a file, named it phpinfo.php, content: <? phpinfo(); ?> but W2k doesn't know how to open the file. Nevertheless i installed PHP the way it is described in the install.txt file. What am I doing wrong? Please help again!!!

I'm really newbie and I have a major problem. I think i've installed the PHP stuff correctly, but I don't know how to insert a PHP feature into a ordinary HTML page. Actually i've tried to find it in the faq, but i didn't. so could please somebody tell me how it works, just combining a php file with the source code. If possible, for example to give me a very simple example, so that i can understand the basics! I'm really desperate so please somebody help me!
