Why doesn't it work?

I have a VERY short php script, and for some reason I get a blank page. No error, no nothing.

I am fairly new to PHP, but I do have minor experience, not a ton but enough where I would think that I could write a simple variable declaration followed by echoing the variable.

Here is the code:

Code: Select all: <html> <head> <title>Variables</title> </head> <body> <?php $cars = 2; echo($cars); ?> </body> </html>

Thanks all! :-)

hello,

remove the brackets where you are printing the data, like this :

echo $cars;

Ok, I changed the code so that it has no brackets.

Code: Select all: <html> <head> <title>Variables</title> </head> <body> <?php $cars = 2; echo $cars; ?> </body> </html>

Still nothing though. :-(

I also tried a simple echo 'Hello World!'; and that didn't work either

Ok, it works if I type out the directory location manually, but not if I use the "run" command inside of Notepad++ or Aptana Studio.
