I am using Windows XP have installed WAMP and PHP as outlined here
http://www.wampserver.com/en/
and have set my search path so that I need only type
php -f PHPExamples.php
and the PHP code runs fine. However, I have not managed to get it to
run in my FireFox/3.5.9 browser. When I make a simple file with the
following contents

<html>
<body>

<?php
$txt1="Hello World!";
$txt2="What a nice day!";

echo $txt1 . " " . $txt2 . " " . strlen("Hello world!") . " " .
strpos("Hello world!","world");
?>

</body>
</html>

, name it Examples.php and call it with a button thus
<a href="Examples.php">PHP</a>

I just get a blank page.

I would be grateful if someone could tell me what I am doing wrong.

Thanks,
Peter.
