Your link leads to the php file. Can you copy and paste your code so i can see it?

and make sure that they ARE php files. If you’re creating them in a text editor, do “save as”

choose “all file types” from the pull down, if it’s avaliable.

type in the name exactly like so “nameOfFile.php” (with the quotes around it) and hit enter.

if you don’t use that format of creation, it will save the file as ‘nameOfFile.php.txt’. It’s very anoying. 🙂
