Re: [PHP] why doesn't this work ?

[Andy Ladouceur]

It's already been mentioned, but you do need to ensure you are using a 
.php extension on the file. Also, forgive me if this has already been 
covered, but are you sure the server even supports PHP?

Try creating a new file with:
<?php
phpinfo();
?>
And save it as something.php, check and see if it returns a table full 
of information or not.

I put this in the body of an html file:

<?php
if ($handle = opendir('.')) {
   while (false !== ($file = readdir($handle))) {
       if ($file != "." && $file != ".." && eregi('\.html$', $file)) {
           echo "<li><a href=\"$file\"><font color=\"#CC0000\">$file</
font></a></li><br>";
       }
   }
   closedir($handle);
}
echo "</ul>";
?>
the output page contains :

$file
"; } } closedir($handle); } echo "
"; ?>
I don't understand why.

Can you post the code and error.



I took out the scrip tags and put in <?php in the beginning and ?>  at
the

end, but it returns this:

$file
"; } } closedir($handle); } echo "
"; ?>
