Default PHP Help for a Beginner
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:
PHP Test
This is an HTML line
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.

Ahh right, that's probably it. I just copied them straight out of the pdf book which I got.

Cheers

but shouldn't the call to phpinfo() execute after it or have the faulty quotes caused an error and stopped any further execution of the script?

The latter. The echo statement never finishes because it's waiting for quoted text which never appears.
