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:

<title>PHP Test</title>

<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?
Aside from the amazing mind reading ability of PHP to know you
wanted 'hi' instead of 'hello', my guess is you do not have PHP
enabled (at least, for the file extension you're using).
first part was cut and paste error, argh. and, yes, i embarrassed
myself as i was ssh'ed into the wrong test box which didn't even have
the PHP package installed. and that, people, is the danger of
drinking decaf. never forget it.
