The thing is, I have a little form with a text area where I can enter or paste some PHP code and have PHP execute it right away, without going through the trouble of creating a file, naming it, saving it etc. I use it quite a lot to try all kinds of things, syntax etc. Anyway, I added the HTML and BODY tags and the behavior is still the same.
