anchors my friend! uh let me whip up a little example, say the code is stored in the code directory so it's ../code/clock.php (the dots represent everything before the directory you'll need to put everything in there though)

<html>
<body> blah diddy blah blah i like to ramble in code here's a little clock
<A href="../code/clock.php"> </A>

read up here about anchoring on webpages http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-html40/stru...ks.html#h-12.1

good to know it didn't fall apart

In all seriousness, you're being terribly vague. "i put the php in the html and i didn't work halp me" That's so descriptive. Good to know you didn't print out the PHP and tape it to your computer or something.

Also, google. Here's one decent looking result: http://www.tizag.com/phpT/index.php

If you want to add php to an html page, all you need to do is to start a <?php tag inside of the html body. Like so:

<HTML>
<head>
<title>my page</title>
</head>
<body>
<?php

php code goes here

?>
</body>
</HTML>

and of course, the page has to have a .php extension or php code won't be translated.

Also if you want to do pretty much everything easier I'm finding another torrent for Dreamweaver/Fireworks CS3 again today so if you want it add me on a messenger. TBH making websites in notepad is a pain, Dreamweaver makes it so wonderfully easy.

Many problems could be happening:

1) The server could not be interpreting PHP, in which case you have to find somewhere else to host your website.
2) The page needs to end in .php
3) What sprite said.
