I expect you'll actually find, if you "view source" in your browser, that PHP hasn't actually processed any of your script at all. You're not seeing the script prior to the > simply because your browser is treating everything between the opening < and your > as just a great big HTML tag that it doesn't recognize. Difficult to offer much in the way of troubleshooting advice without knowing at least what web server software you're using, but I'd certainly start by double-checking your configuration to make sure that you have, in fact, set it up to hand files with the extension you're using off to the PHP interpreter for processing. --- Mark Roedel (roedelm@letu.edu) || "There cannot be a crisis next week.
