Like to use my html editor NVU

[lenbell]

When I create a html using my html editor and then insert php code I get odd
results. I've gotten rid of most but some remain. If I rename the file to
a .php it helps but still screws up. here are tow examples

Same exact code!

One more question

What the hell are these tokens

<?
?>

I see them in some sample code and they do seem to help in some of my code
but I have no idea what they do
(I can't seem to Google them either - probably the symbols <screw the
search)

Before I tried to program anything in php, I read the manual.

Try it, it helps.

First: This is not a PHP question. It is an editor issue.

Second: You should upgrade to KompoZer -- a bug-fixed and
enhanced version of the now unsupported Nvu:

http://kompozer.net/features.php

Third: Ask your question(s) in the KompoZer forums:

http://wysifauthoring.informe.com/forum/

Sign up and be rewarded with some Very Fine advice
offered by a number of knowledgeable and patient folks.

Your question(s) are pretty much an FAQ in the WYSIFA Forums.

Before asking in a php news group, perhaps should familiarize yourself
with the contents of PHP.101. Your questions fall into the DUH!!! category.

1 - To run as php, unless you do special stuff on the host, it MUST have
a php extension. Otherwise it won't recognize the file as a being a php
file. ALWAYS, repeat -- ALWAYS, end your php files with a php extension.

2 - The <? ?are referred to as short tags and should be avoided. Use
should use <?php ?>

3 - In a PHP file, the php code falls between the <?php and the ?tags
(or, the short tag version, <? and ?>, which, as I said above, should
be avoided in favor or the long tags.

4 - "Screws up" is not a very informative diagnostic.
