Thought I spend a few days playing with PHP, so I downloaded PHP and then started Monkey. A simple php test file:

Code Sample

<html> <head> <title>PHP Test</title> </head> <body>
<?php echo <p>'Hello World'</p>;
?>
</body> </html>

Outputs the following:

Code Sample

'Hello World'

; ?>

The punctuation following the text shouldn't be there, but I thinkit shows that PHP is installed and working in some fashion..

Further, the following:

Code Sample

outputs absolutey nothing. I've been searching for hours and can't find anything to explain this. I've got the files in /opt/monkey/htdocs. I also notice that they are also 'magically' also in /opt/monkey-0.9.1/htdocs. I suspect I'm making some bone-headed mistake, any ideas?
