Posted March 3, 2017 Hi, I am just starting to learn PHP (after having done HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. I am currently hosting my own website which I am using to practice my coding. I cannot however, seem to get my website to display the PHP code e.g. echo commands do not output anything. Is there anything I can do to try and do to fix this? Here is my code: <!DOCTYPE html> <meta charset="utf-8"/> <html> <head> <link rel="stylesheet" href="css.css"> <script src="javascript.js"></script> </head> <body> <?php echo "Hello"; ?> </body> </html> There are 10 types of people in the world. Those that understand binary and those that don't. Link to comment https://linustechtips.com/topic/746992-linux-web-server-not-displaying-php/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted March 4, 2017 @FaiL___ How are you testing the PHP code? Make sure you are a) saving the .php file in Apaches htdocs folder, default location on debian/ubuntu is I belive /var/www/htdocs, and b) opening your web browser and going to http://localhost/filename.php to run your PHP code You cannot be opening .php files directly into the browser (ie, the address begins with file://) as this will not work!
