Ok, I got grounded, so I decided to learn PHP, but I'm having some trouble. I tried to do the simplest code I could think of:

<?php

echo "Hello World!";

?>

It should print "Hello World!" , right? Well, it doesn't, and I don't know what my problem is. I saved it as .php, is there something else I need to do to make it work? :S

Any and all help in this manner will be much appreciated. ^_^

The server you uploaded it to must have PHP installed. It's not like HTML, you have to install PHP on the server for it to work.

get xamp, just google it and that will give you a easy install of php, linux, and mysql on windows / linux.
