You are likely not running the code on the server.
If you are using xampp, verify that the php file is saved under c:\xampp\apache\htdocs

Are you using lamp or other software or else it won't show on your browser because browsers defaultly read only HTML , CSS

Am using wamp server as my local server, and my Php fil is stored c:/wampserver/www/filename

check for the folder called htdocs in C:\wampserver\ or C:\wampserver\apache.
Then move your project there.
Are you using an IDE for your coding?

Hope you are using localhost to access your code

Try accessing your code like this
Localhost /filename.php
Save the file inside your htdocs folder in your wamp directory
And make sure your Apache is working

I hope the file is saved as .php and not as .html?

Yes I am

Capacchino:
Yes I am

try using http://127.0.0.1

Yes it s saved as. php

I have a few questions to ask you OP



1. Is this your first PHP script?



2. If the first answer is no, are other scripts working well?



3. What browser(s) are you using?



4. Did you embed your PHP code in html or just plain PHP code?


Try pasting your code here, if you don't mind.

Its has been resolved, i just uninstalled and reinstalled wamp server, den I saved on my www folder.. Den used d localhost/foldername/filename.php on d browser...
Tnx for all ur suggestions and opinions, i am grateful
