[PHP-DOC] "Hello world" in PHP

Fri, 30 Apr 2010 07:36:17 -0700

probably about to embarrass myself but i'm looking at the PHP manual page "Your first PHP-enabled page", which suggests this as an initial PHP program: 

<html>
 <head>
  <title>PHP Test</title>
 </head>
 <body>
 <?php echo '<p>Hello World</p>'; ?>
 </body>
</html>

but if i enter, then browse to that page, i get as browser output:

=====
hi world

'; ?>
=====
um ... what's with those trailing characters? did i just do something hideously dumb? misconfiguration?
