[NTLUG:Discuss] Running php - learning help

[Brian Koontz]

Not much info here, so it's hard to tell.  

Any error messages on apache startup?  (Don't just recycle it using
"apachectl restart"  -- doesn't always work.  Use "apachectl stop" and
"apachectl start".)

If you file named with a .php extension?  If not, apache won't parse
it as a PHP file.

There is an excellent PHP user's group in the Dallas area at
http://www.dallasphp.org.  Lots of PHP gurus there who would probably be
more than willing to help dig into your problem.
