I just read my first PHP tutorial yesterday.
I uploaded a file index.htm to my /public_html/0php folder on my web server.
Here is the code in that page:
<html>
<body bgcolor="white">
<strong>How to say "Hello, World!"</strong>
<?php echo "Hello, World!";?>
<br>
Simple, huh?
</body>
</html>
I noticed the PHP does not get parsed :( The page just displays the HTML content normally without the words "Hello. World!"
Then I renamed the page to index.shtml.
Still no results.
What am i doing wrong?

it worked like a charm!
btw... does every file always need to be having the .php extension if i want it to parse PHP cdie inside it?
also, cannot .shtml extensions be used ever?

You can add any type of extension to the list of extensions to be parsed by PHP; Simply add the line
AddType application/x-httpd-php .html .shtml
etc
to your .htaccess or httpd.conf.

so if i wish to add four extensions, i add them all one one line as in your example? or do i need to add them individually per line.
i will be using .htaccess. i believe it should be in the root folder, yes?
where can i find the file httpd.conf?
thanks for helping me.

if you have cpanel you can login into your control panel and then click on mime types,
and then add the application: application/x-httpd-php to as many extensions as you like

yes... i have cpanel access.
so if i click on Mime Types and add the .htm, .html. and .shtml extensions, my other .htm pages (which do not contain any PHP code) will continue to be rendered normally as before? right?
Yes, but with a slight performance hit for each page. The PHP parser needs to look at every page served...
