I am trying to do what should be an Extremely simple PHP call.

Copyright © 2007- [PHP] echo date('Y'); [PHP]

Using the correct tags of course.

What I am getting on the screen is the code, not the resulting YEAR.

I even tried changing it to PRINT and that did not work either.

I am pretty sure I have PHP on my server, though I am NOT sure which version yet.

This is in an HTML document. XHTML 1.0 Transitional.
with a content="text/html; charset=utf-8"

What did I forget?

Save the file extension as php

PHP Code:

Copyright © 2007- <?php echo date('Y'); ?>

works for me

to test

create an empty page

add the following

PHP Code:

<?php
 
phpinfo();
 
?>

name the file info.php and browse for it through http

You should see lots of info

[Insert Brain Fart and Typo Here]

I remembered the PHP extension thing right after I posted. But it still wasn't working so I copy and pasted Davidj's code and compared it to what I had typed.

I had an extra space between the < and the ?PHP and PHP doesn't like that.

It's working just fine now!

Thanks for the help folks!
