While developping my site, I came across a problem, my php codes don't seem to work as expected. ;)
I've tried opening my html files containing the php include code, but on all of my browsers (IE, Netscape, FF, Opera, etc) I get this:

And what I want is this:

Posted Image

Here's the html code for the page, quite small:

<html>
<head>
<title>Some Page</title>
</head>
<body marginwidth="0" marginheight="0" 
bgcolor="#FFFFFF" text="#FFFFFF"
font="impact" link="#00CCCC">
<center>
<table border="4" cellpadding="5" cellspacing="0" width="500px" 
align="center" bgcolor="#000000">
<tr>
<td bgcolor="#A3FF66" colspan="2"><h2>Title: Hello World!</h2></td>
</tr>
<tr height="480px">
<td valign="top">Navigation: <br /> 
<?php include ('part.php'); ?> 
</td>
<td valign="top">Content: <p>Hello world! Hello world! Hello world!</p></td>
</tr>
</table>
</center>
</body>
</html>

Can anyone tell how I can get my browsers to display php? Thanks.

the file extension to use php must be *.php, i reckon you still have it as *.html?

ps. php is server side, so its not affected by browser type.

As .Matt pointed out, you will probably have made the mistake of leaving the page in which you are trying to use a PHP Include as a .html/.htm extension when it needs to be .php

You won't be able to view the results unless you have PHP installed on your PC I would suggest WAMP for that, but if you have a webhost then test it on there.

By the way, I installed the WAMP server but still nada. I can't open any php extension files. How do I test them? :D
