    Hello, I just starting learning PHP about a week ago along with other languages and I can't seem to get it to show up in a browser. I put this html form page, along with another form and the php file that'll be grabbing the variables on my server. When I open my Form page, the php echo'd message doesn't show, nor does any of the content on the PHP page that it calls?


    I set the chmod for the PHP page to 644 and my html is 755. Should it also be 644? Or some other permission? Thanks.

      Is the file extension of this page is .html? because if it is .html you must change it into .php file extension, for example myhtmlpage.php instead of myhtmlpage.html,only in php file extension the <?php ?> - php tag works. so change your page into .php . . . .

          Just to add with what Exequiel had said, you should ensure you have a Web Server (example Apache) running on your computer that helps the PHP scripts to be processed.
