You are aware of course that php is SERVER SIDE scripting and has nothing to do with the browser, right? You cannot just open a .php file directly from a browser and see it working, you have to open it through a web server.
Avi, Yes, I understand that. That is why I was concentrating my efforts on apache and php, rather than on konqueror and netscape. But I thought the browser passed some information to apache. As I look at this, I am starting to get a better idea of the relationship of all the pieces. In the meantime, I have also figured out why my script wouldn't run. It was in the wrong directory. I was trying to open a file from within my home directory and not from within the DocumentRoot directory set in /etc/httpd/httpd.conf. Once I moved the file to that directory (and corrected a syntax error or two), the script ran great. Thanks for your help. Cheers, Sean -- Theo.
