I am told that my simple php files are rendered but I cannot print or echo variables . I must be missing something obvious??!!

can you run this on the site in a phptest.php file

<html>
<head>
<title> PHP Test Script </title>
</head>
<body>
<?php
phpinfo( );
?>
</body>
you should get something like this if not then php could be disable

Thankyou for that ,365webhost247.co.uk ,but a csc analyst has put that in my cgi-bin and all the php info comes up a treat. I'm sure I've read in more than one place that you dont put your code in cgi-bin , so I put mine in the root directory (I think!) I run the files from the address bar in firefox
(I've tried all the other browsers). should one of these lines print the value of $anum. ?
<?php
$anum=99;
print "$anum";
print '$anum';
print $anum;
?.>
still perplexed !!!
ps. I've tried all variations of file permissions.

Is the dot a typo? That would break it.
The first and third prints should print 99; the second should print $anum.

That test file outputs
99$anum99
for me (with the invalid '.' removed). I set file permissions to 0700.
Have Plusnet checked your root directory permissions are correct (1710 or drwx--x--T)?

Much appreciate you response Gabe and spayxt...
It was a bit more than a typo! I was stubbornly using wordpad as it works fine for html, javascript and CSS. I thought I was saving files as ASCII
but it seems not , now using notepad and php now works...
Many thanks and standby for my next twattish error...

Glad to hear you got the problem sorted.
