Help With PHP Parse

Hello, My name is Noel Avenelle, a student at Maumee High School in Maumee, Ohio. I am starrting the PHP area of our school's BAT (Business Administration and Technology) program. I am having trouble getting our server to parse PHP documents. I have set up an Apache 1.3.2 server with PHP 4.2.2. It parses phpinfo() fine, and it can parse server, print, and echo commands, but it can't parse anything else. Every pre-compiled script I've tried to use doesn't produce any output. If you could help me, I would be so greatful. If you need anymore information, please tell me. Noel Avenelle BAT Program Maumee High School
