PHP Help for a Beginner

**mbonwick** · #1 24th Mar 2008, 10:00

Hi everyone,

I'm just setting out learning PHP. I've uploaded the follwoing code to http://heritagerailways.profusehost.net/test/test.php

However when I navigae to the file, all I get is a blank screen. What am I doing wrong?
The code is (or should be):

Code:

<html>
<head>
<title>PHP Test</title>
</head>
<body>
<p>This is an HTML line
<p>
<?php
echo “This is a PHP line”;
phpinfo();
?>
</body></html>

Any ideas

Thanks,
Michael

Who do you host with?

Might need to get php enabled on your server.

I host with profusehost, and as far as I know, PHP is enabled. I have coppermine gallery and PHPBB3 running successfully.

Hi Michael,

You're using the wrong kind of quotes. Those look like something out of Word.

Go in with a text editor instead of a word processor and change them to "quotes" instead. Then it'll work.

'quotes' are fine as well.
