I run > PHP scripts all the time. I can't really say since you gave no information at all. A lot of 'nix bundles might include it but Windows for instance does not. And unless you have installed a server installed locally on your machine, PHP scripts are not running on your machine. All you'll get when it runs is a page showing the PHP script, but no PHP results. Once you're into production mode, then the PHP is running on whatever server you are using for your production site/s. So you have actually not said anything but a few words with nothing to describe what you're doing. That of course if of absolutely no use to newbies and the inexperienced users looking to get into PHP programming. HTH, Twayne`
