In before I said you, I lost my passions about PHP but now I’m over excited about PHP and I published about it in last night. You can read more about random things about PHP.

I am on Chapter: 2 “Create a simple PHP Program“. Their I got a full instructions and if you write any php codes and save the file as .html – this will execute but you won’t get the expected results. I also read that, “a very common error you’ll find in your PHP code is the parse error“. Might be I did the same things.

However, I don’t know – what’s going on that codes (given below). It’s not executing properly. I saved in local server and closed all things properly and the file extension is .php ( I double checked).

The text here displays the date as a result of PHP5 processing: Today is

&lt; ?php
$todaysdate = date(&quot;m&quot;,time()) . &quot;-&quot; . date(&quot;d&quot;,time()) . &quot;-&quot;
date(&quot;Y&quot;, time());
echo $todaysdate;
?&gt;

Hopefully, tomorrow I’ll digg more on this codes. Until then if possible leave your comments and resolve this problem.
