Your probably not previewing the file via through the server. What testing server are you using? Make sure your url is something like with http://localhost/filename.php. Where filename.php is your file. Also make sure the file is saved in your htdocs folder.

Goto sourceforge.net and get the DevPHP IDE package, will give you a LocalHost server you can run your script on as part of the package, code highlighting, context help

Failure is not an option It's included free
If at first you dont succeed, join the club
Of course its always in the last place you look, you dont keep looking after you find it

Please mark solved problems, solved

you might run this program directly from the browser, you need to have some web server, just install WAMP or XAMPP on your PC, if you are windows user
