Getting started in PHP, but even with a Hello world I’m running into problems

  • 0

Getting started in PHP, but even with a “Hello world” I’m running into problems …

Here’s my page:

<html>
  <body>
    <?php 
        echo "<p>Hello world.<br /> </p>" ;
    ?>
  </body>
</html>

But instead of just ‘Hello world.’ I get

Hello world.

" ; ?> 

What gives?

FWIW, I’m using XAMPPlite (which is an Apache 2.5.8 with a PHP 5.3.1 on Win XP).

    You should save the file with a .php extension, not as .html.
