"php help"

Can anyone please help. I have copied the coding from freeola help pages to display a counter on my site using php. I pasted it into my html code and renamed the file using .php extention when I upload this page all I can see is the code being displayed. What am I doing wrong?

Nae probs. Have fun!

Oh, and if you need any more help, you know where to come. We da PHP Masterz of Ceremony, erm, BO! :-)

A Big Big Big Thanks to turbonutter and cjh it's working
Thanks for sticking with me.

goto notepad, and save a file as hits.txt

Upload that file into the same place as your counter script.

As you can tell absolute beginer
do you mean change my file testcnt.php to hits.txt
or do I ceate another file called hits.txt if so whats in the file and were do I put it

Nononono:

Find the line:

$hitsfile = "";

and replace with:

$hitsfile = "hits.txt";

Now, create a file called "hits.txt", upload it and give it 666 permissions.

Highlighted my file on server testcnt.php gave it 666 permision using cuteftp but still same messages

CHMOD 666 the file "hits" with your FTP program.
