Excuse me but I really don't understand what is wrong with my php file? I upload the following file in public_html:
----------------------
<html>
<head>
<title>Exemple</title>
</head>
<body>
<?php
echo ("Hi, I am a PHP script!");
?>
</body>
</html>
-------------------
and I chmoded it 777 and I made sure public_html was also 777 but I get nothing on the screen when I visit the file from the web!! Can you please tell me what is wrong with this!!!

Thank you for your cooperation

My guess is that you didn't give the file a ".php" file extension.

You shouldn't have to CHMOD to get it to run; just upload to your public_html folder as "hello.php" and it should be fine.

Go the the URL www.almaarifa.net/jalaltrial.php and view the source! You'll be surprised!

Thank u anyway for your answer.

It would be nice if somebody can tell me what is wrong!

My bet is that your .htaccess file is messed up and apache is not calling the PHP preprocessor for your page.

Get rid of the junk characters before the <html> tag, and get rid of all the extra spaces in the HTML and PHP tags. The PHP processor probably doesn't recognize < ? p h p ...

If you cut and paste the code exactly as shown in your first post, and make sure you upload in ASCII (not binary) mode, it will probably work fine.

Try this one :

<?php
include ( " jalaltrial.php " ) ;
?>

Also remember that PHP does not require CHMOD.. Unless you are using PHP to upload a file or write to a file. So no need to CHMOD unlike CGI.
