help with Installing

[Pb1of6]

I am a novice at PHP  so take it easy on me  I have downloaded and installed cmpFetch on my host which is currently running coppermine. When I run the install.php file everything was fine I got the CpmFetch Installer for release 2.0.0 page up with some of my images displayed and the text boxes which I copied and pasted into my homepage code

<?php
  include "./coppermine/cpmfetch/cpmfetch.php";
  $objCpm = new cpm("./coppermine/cpmfetch/cpmfetch_config.php");
  $objCpm->cpm_viewLastAddedMedia(1,4);
  $objCpm->cpm_close();
?>

my gallery directory is named coppermine.
The problem is all I get on my homepage is

Code Select Expand

cpm_viewLastAddedMedia(1,4); $objCpm->cpm_close(); ?> 
I have tried making a new page blank page and inserting the copied code and still I get the same line of text.
Its got to be something simple I have overlooked............ is'nt it

thanks Pb

Not to be too obvious (you said you're a newbie  ) but is your home page a php file, e.g. does it end in '.php'?  Most server setups won't parse .html or .htm files for php code unless you specifically tell them to. 

Try doing a "view source" on your home page -- I bet you see the whole php block, which you shouldn't, if it's being parsed as php.

Yes i can see the whole block
I was under the impression that cmpfetch would link from my homepage (html) to my coppermine gallery.
Never mind back to the drawing board, thanks Tim appreciate you fast response

Just rename your homepage to index.php and all should be well (you can set up a redirect from index.html for those who linked directly to the page).  If you can't/don't want to do that, you can config your server to parse all html files as php, although that's kind of inefficient if they're mostly not...
