[Resolved] cant even get started with php.....

[krupp]

I cant even get started with php .. my ISP is supposed to support PHP, but I jsut dont get it.. for example. Should this return my ip on the screen:

<?php
echo $REMOTE_ADDR;
?>

just put in ip.php placed on the remote server. But it just returns a blank screen.. why oh why?? it drives me mad.

seems like it is parsing, or you would get the raw code echoed back to you...
try:

<?
phpinfo();
?>

From that I get a like 10 pages of info.. so that must mean that it works? But why dont the REMOTE_ADDR thing work?

[trex005]

try
echo $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'];

Yeah that worked! Thanks a lot, now I know in wich way to proceed!
