Well it will, as long as the only thing within the tag is code. One of
the really cool things is that you can make non code, conditional.

<?php
if(condition){
?>

Some html that shows if condition is true

<?php }
else{ ?>

Some html that only shows if the condition is false

<?php } ?>

Problem solved, like my 'master', i am new to all this. He pointed out
that i should try separate <?php & ?> brackets for each piece of code
on the page. I had only included the one pair. Presuming that all code
within it would be processed. Thanks anyway. It seems to be doing the
job.

First of all, are you sure you server even supports PHP and MySQL?
If it does, does your script file have the *.php extension?

This must work if PHP is supported...

Hi, i have had no problem displaying the current date and time, on a
static webpage. However, when i try to use the various PHP and MySQL
snippets, it does'nt seem to work out.

My success story can be seen on, amongst others,
http:www.manchesterpaul.net/world.war.html
http:www.manchesterpaul.net/world.govroy.html

For this i used the Server Side Includes code of
<!--#echo var="DATE_GMT" -->~~~If this is not today's date, refresh
page for updated version.

I have tried placing the above AND the MySQL, PHP versions detailed
below, on the PHP outputted webpages, above and below the PHP
sections. Also, within the Database Fields, as an entry. In the same
way that one uses HTML code in the displayed results from a PHP query.
Instead of the date and time i get lots of similar output to the bit
below,
#######
Today's Date Is

Today's Date Is Today's Date Is echo("Today Is $today");
echo("The Time Is $now");
#######
Can someone enlighten me as to where the code should be placed. Under
no circumstances do i wish to use Javascript.
The following are my failures;

Today's Date Is <?php echo gmdate("D M d Y"); ?>

Today's Date Is <?php
$today =date("l, d, F, Y");
$now = date("H:i:s");< br>
echo("Today Is $today");<br>
echo("The Time Is $now");
