Hi there, I too fine this book to be totally awesome. I am completely new to php and the approach you took in writing this book demystify this scripting language. I am stuck on chapter 8 with the topic "USING EXTERNAL FILES". I followed everything that was suggested in creating the template however when I run index.php all I see is the php script in the browser. I am local host server. Can you please advise how to resolve this issue cause it is quite daunting. Thanks cheers.
