    apache displays an empty page when running php

    my apache 2 server displays a blank page when i run this code
    [php]<html>
    <head>
    <title>PHP Test</title>
    </head>
    <body>
    <?php echo '<p>Hello World</p>'; ?>
    </body>
    </html>[/php]

    I have php5 and apache 2 in my machine
    But my HTML pages are running properly in my server and they display their contents.
    when i run my php code alone
    for example[php]
    <?php

    // Show all information, defaults to INFO_ALL
    phpinfo();

    // Show just the module information.
    // phpinfo(8) yields identical results.
    phpinfo(INFO_MO DULES);

    ?>[/php]
    This works great and all the information regarding php5 are displayed

    Is the problem because am combining HTML and PHP in the wrong way or do i have to set anything before i could do that

    Thanks

      That should work. Personally I like to put brackets around like:
      [PHP]<?php echo( "<p>Hello World</p>" ); ?>[/PHP]
      But that won't make any difference.

      So there is no php response at all?

          See Apache's logs for any errors.

              hey that a good catch :)
              The file did not have its permission
              But now I get the HelloWorld PHP's output but not the HTML stuff
              My expectation is why nothing from the HTML liners came out

                  Please enclose your posted code in [code] tags (See How to Ask a Question).

                  This makes it easier for our Experts to read and understand it. Failing to do so creates extra work for the moderators, thus wasting resources, otherwise available to answer the members' questions.

                  Please use [code] tags in future.

                      There is no HTML output, except for the title of your page, because you don't output anything else but the title and the Hello World message. What else would you expect to see on your screen?
