Re: how can I use or run a php sample?

you need to install php http://www.php.net/downloads.php You most probably want the 700k install, it should work with your server, else you want the next one above to give you all you need (4meg). The 700k install sets up most servers, and should do yours. Then simply run your server with the php file in the dir the server points to then: http://localhost/yourphpfile.php and it should work. and to kill the html just put: <?PHP echo "Hello Burak"; ?> or what ever you like.. neo =) "Burak Delice" <bdelice@yahoo.com> wrote in message news:20010920084800.29362.qmail@pb1.pair.com... > hi, > > I have been making some tests.
