Php code not processing......

[Joshscorp]

Was wondering why the php code is not processing at all? Am using templates as follows:

This is the main index.php

<?php

include 'template.inc';

$tpl = new Template('./Templates/');

if (!isset($GET['link']))
{
$link = 'content.tpl';
}
else
{
$link = $GET['link'];
}

$tpl->set_file(array('loginPanel' =>'login.tpl',
'sidePanel' =>'sidePanel.tpl',
'searchPanel' =>'search.tpl',
'sloganPanel' =>'slogan.tpl',
'contentPage' => $link,
'bottomPanel'=> 'bottom.tpl',
'std'=>'body.tpl'));

$tpl->set_var('title', 'My Title');

$tpl->parse('login', 'loginPanel');
$tpl->parse('side', 'sidePanel');
$tpl->parse('search', 'searchPanel');
$tpl->parse('slogan', 'sloganPanel');
$tpl->parse('content', 'contentPage');
$tpl->parse('bottom', 'bottomPanel');
$tpl->parse('DUMMY', 'std');

$tpl->p('DUMMY');

?>

=============================

and inside the search.tpl

<BR>
<?php
Echo "Testing";
?>
<BR>

===========================
It does not appear? why is that?? is the <?php ?> block ignored?
thanks

what is the output that is sent to the web browser for the second file? does the web browser display

<?php 
Echo "Testing"; 
?> 

if it displays the above it seems that your server doesnt support php files and outputs them as normal text. if the server does support php try writing

<? php code here ?>

instead of

<?php php code here ?>

it could be the server doesnt support older or newer versions of php.

First of all, I dont think its the server problem coz the code works when I put it inside a .php file.

secondly, when I put it in the .tpl file and call the template as part of the index.php,
<?php echo "TESTING"; ?> line does not display anything, for example, I write

<H1> TESTING TITLE </H1>
<?php echo "TESTING"; ?>

it only displays TESTING TITLE, without testing....

if I put it in a seperate .php file, it will display both lines....

Thanks
