I am just starting to learn php. I created a file:
<html>
<head>
<title>test php</title>
</head>
<body>
<?php phpinfo(); ?>
</body>
</html>
I uploaded this file into the public html directory with the rest of my stuff and got an error. I had done this previously many months ago when I wanted to learn php, but abandonded it for python. At that time though, it worked. I got all the php info from my server. Now nothing. I know that the server has php support, and I can't figure out what I did different then. Can anyone help me on this, I gotta get the php ball rollin

Just put the following in the file; <?php phpinfo(); ?> No need for anything else.

I just tried the <?php phpinfo(); ?> I saved the file as test.php and its still not working. I am I putting it in the wrong place maybe? Public html? Here is the error I get:

Weird man! I would do like the error says and contact someone. I suspect that php isn't running properly on that server.
::Edit:: UNLESS they have that turned off... have you tried doing something else? Such as <?php echo "Hello All!"; ?>

That didn't work either. I rember having problems the first time I tried this, but I don't rember what I did to get it to work, other than smack the computer desk a couple of times with my fist. Could my file location mess it up?

only if your file isn't located in the web tree but if you aren't getting a 404 error then it is obviously there. Well I shouldn't say that...
Make sure that it is in the root folder ie - public_html or www or whatever it is named... mine is on windows and it is called www_root

Yeah, it's just bo-jangled. I put it in every folder available. Didn't work in any. I guess I just gotta see if somebody at the hosting company will talk to me. :confused:

Are you sure php is enabled on that server? If you post the URL I could have a look at the signature to see.

For some reason that server doesn't identify itself whatsoever.
