Hi...

I'm working with PHP for nearly the first time under Apache running on "Sun Linux 5".  Apache is 1.3.22 and PHP is 4.0.6.  Both were installed with the OS.

In order for a PHP page to get rendered, I have to have a <HTML> tag in it and the file has to be executable.

In other words, a file containing only

   <?php $myvar = "<html><body><h2>Hello World</h2></body></html>"; echo $myvar; ?>

or something, fails....  while

   <html>
   <?php $myvar = "<html><body><h2>Hello World</h2></body></html>"; echo $myvar; ?>  <html>

works...

TIA...

Bye,
Matt
