When output file shows only text...what's the problem?

[Richard]

In an attempt to try out some things with php, I have run into a new snag.
The output file is pure text.
Basically it's a simple photo gallery using <ul> links to show various
thumbnails.
In turn, the thumbnails show a bigger image.
All on the same page.
My only possible thinking is that it has something to do with the array
notation.
$image =array ( );
$image[101]="name.jpg";
Is it correct to say $image = array(999); ??
As to define 999 items? as in javascript?


Instead of using the normal 0 starting point, as I figure this is not
necessary.
It has worked up to a point, then all of a sudden I get the text output.

This should work, for example:

<?php
$image = array();
$image[101] = "name.jpg";
echo $image[101];
?>

...should output name.jpg.

No, in PHP, this would define an array with only one element, the integer
999.

What exactly is the text output that you're getting?

It's a bit more involved than just placing an image on the page.

Precisely the same text as the input file.
