Chances are your shorttags aren't being parsed.

Replace <? with <?php

Example:

PHP Code:


<?php

//code goes here

?>

Its not working too. I m using Apache 1.3 and PHP4. I cant understand wer is the mistake.
Thanks for help

There is no error with the code, it works fine. If you run a page with just

PHP Code:


<?php
echo phpinfo();
?>

Does it work? It sounds like there may be issues with PHP in your apache install.

i jst downloaded 'ZZEE PHP GUI' for test and code is working fine.
something wrong with my apache 1.3
do i need the latest apache?

Apache doesn't seem to be the problem. Your web service is running fine or else the HTML wouldn't appear. You may need to install PHP or upgrade your service.

If you want to save yourself some trouble, I suggest just downloading WAMP for this kind of testing.
