Hi
You installed a web server, but you are not using the web server.
You cannot click on the file in explorer when you have PHP in the file, so if you have a url with `file:///` at the start you are doing it all wrong.
Call the file something with an extension of `.php` lets try `index.php`
Now assuming you put this code in `d:\wamp64\www\test1\index.php` then enter `localhost/test1` in the browser address bar and see what happens

Thank you, sorry, I thought PHP commands were imbedded into HTML files. It appears that the HTML and PHP are all included in the .php files. And localhost/.. makes sure my browser is running the local server. Thanks again, and I will try to read, read, read the manuals. Thanks again
