I'm a newbie trying to learn PHP and having trouble with first example I'm keying in from O'Reilly's 'Learning PHP5'. The programs are as follows:

SAYHELLO.HTML
<form methos="POST" action="sayhello.php">
YourName: <input type="text" name="user">
<br/>
<input type="submit" value="sayhello">
</form>

SAYHELLO.PHP
<?php>
print "Hello, ";
print $_POST['user'];
print "!";
?>

Whenever I enter a name and submit it, instead of displaying the name it displays the entire PHP program as follows:
print "Hello, "; print $_POST['user']; print "!"; ?>

What am I doing wrong. My system is Windows XP SP3 with the latest wampserver download.
Thanks for any help.

You have 2 errors with your code,

1. HTML File - you have put "methos" instead of "method"

2. PHP File - The Script doesn't get chance to execute because the first tag you put "<?php>" instead of "<?php", DELETE THE END GREATER THAN!
