Hi, I am new to php, and have been workin gthrough beginning php4. Previous attempts have gone fine. am up to page 100 now. Have now hit a snag with my installation of php4. Unlike if I uypload to a real server and view the file, my local one displays part of the php thus: (u may notice i altered some text but that should be fine ;>):
; echo "Loan amount we will allow:$LoanAllowance"
; if ($Loan <= $LoanAllowance) echo "Yes, $FirstName $LastName, we are delighted to accept your application"; if ($Loan > $LoanAllowance) echo "No, $FirstName $LastName, you are taking the piss. Get stuffed, numbnuts"; ?>
Any suggestions as to what my local installation is up to? I have tried installing php 4 and 5 now from
www.php.net but neither have solved it, merely clogged my hdd up with extra dlls. Wehay! :(
Any help would be appreciated

I am still using a local server rather than remote, out of ease of use and because my web host charges for mysql which i hope to get onto eventually!
By the way: here is the entire php:
<html>
<head></head>
<body>
<b>Namllu Credit Bank Loan Application Form</b>
<br>
<br>
<?
$SalaryAllowance = $Salary/5;
$AgeAllowance = ($Age/10 - ($Age%10)/10)-1;
$LoanAllowance = $SalaryAllowance * $AgeAllowance;
echo "Loan wanted:$Loan"<br>;
echo "Loan amount we will allow:$LoanAllowance"<br><br>;
if ($Loan <= $LoanAllowance) echo "Yes, $FirstName $LastName, we are delighted to accept your application";
if ($Loan > $LoanAllowance) echo "No, $FirstName $LastName, you are taking the piss. Get stuffed, numbnuts";
?>
</body>
