Hi friends
I am new to PHP and Web programming as such. I installed PHP on Win 98 & running PWS. The test page of PHP is working. But I have written a code to in PHP but it is not working properly. Could anybody solve the problem. I am giving below the htm file and php file listing.

try.htm :->

call.php :->

<?
print $try ;
?>

It does not print anything. Pls. guide me why is it so ?

Try using
<?PHP
print $try;
?>

also try

<?php

print ("$try");

it prints nothing because $try is not set with a value in the input tag. try this instead:

also, as majik says, you may need to use:
<?php

if your php.ini is not configured to recognize:
<?

Thanks for reply.
The value is to be given by the user at run time and that is to be accessed by call.php
So whats wrong?

"The value is to be given by the user at run time"

do you mean they will enter the data into a form? if so, you have to use a text box to get the info from the form:

try to find a good reference on how to use html forms, that should help clear up some confusion.
