I'm new to this too, but I believe php will only work with files that have
a .php3 file extension, so you need to save the file with the php tags in
it as file.php3.
When I saved <? print "Hello World!<p>"; ?> as hello.php3 and opened it in
my browser, it displayed Hello World! I did the standard CS1.2
installation.
You could also check by entering "rpm -q php" at the system prompt. If you
did the standard CS1.2 install, it should print "php-3.0.14-3"
# rpm -q php
php-3.0.14-3
#
Trying to get php and MySQL to work together seems to be another matter
and I'm about to ask the list a question regarding that.
