Hi,
I'm not sure this is the right forum, so I'm more than happy to get instruction on same. I've very recently moved back to a more hands on involvement in web design from a Dilbert stylr management career of over ten years. I was once a fairly OK C programmer (medals and stuff like that).
I think my brain has died though.
I've just started to help on a web site (http://www.realsurf.com ) and we are setting up a devleopment environment based on the existing site to move it to more component based framework. The issue is this, we've copied all of the important content etc into a new environemt (Redhat 7.3 ) but I cant get the index.php3 file to display proerly.
Some background, I installed 7.3 from the distro CD with pretty much default paramters. I understood that the Apache install component of this would install the PHP modules as part of the install ("they" told me so). I've done this on my RH7.3 box at home and get the following message -
Parse error: parse error in /www/sites/index.php3 on line 18
Or, on the other box it simply displays the entire text of the file.
Where do I start to figure out what's giong on?
THanks
Barry

Hi and thanks to the folks that replied.
I've got it working.
I do understand that in order to solve a 'real' parsing problem, the code is instructive. I guess my purpose was more to get some feleling in terms of the architectural issues.
It turns out that the 'parse' error was related to having ASP_TAGS turned off rather than the code itself (tricky little '<%' )
Again, thank you very much for your responses. Hopefully I'll have more challenging issue to deal with in the future.
Cheers,
Barry
