Place holder problem

[werkzeug]

Hi All. i AM USING xwd6 and made a placeholder for a search window. After inserting the code, the code became visible to the visitors. What's wrong here? Any ideas?

Señor, are you sure you have the full code inserted, with < and /> terminations, etc? Does it work OK if you use it away from XWD6, like in Front Page?

I guess we'd need some more details, maybe sample code to play with...

The code looks good. Is PHP running on the server ?

[zaphodeist]

I think the page in which the code is inserted needs to have a .php extension.

yes, PHP is running on the remote server

Thanks John. I'll try this even though I cannot imagine it to be the problem. I had this issue with FrontPage

By default only files that have a PHP extension will be parsed for PHP code but the server can be set up to parse other extensions such as HTM HTML SHTML etc.
