Building a Database-Driven Web Site Using PHP and MySQL

[confused]

Hi,

I'm currently trying to learn Building a Database-Driven Web Site Using PHP and MySQL, and currently at: Putting it all Together I tried copy that finished code and put it into joke.php3, (I created the joke.php3 and added the following code but I cannot view it). Do it required a <?php ? or something. The sources are located at: http://www.webmasterbase.com/article...id=228&pid=846

Please help, i'm a newbie to this stuff.

Do you have PHP and mySQL installed on your server?

If so what versions (check with your host)?

If not check with your host about getting them installed.

Of course, I have mySQL and PHP installed, I believed is the Stable version of mySQL and PHP3.

Without those I couldn't make to [Putting it all Together] lesson.

I got it taken care already, the ID# work just fine but is there anyway I can make my text joke filter out in html format. Let say, I'm inserting a new joke, that new joke contains html in it. How can I make it filter out in html format instead of filtering out in text format and showing my html sources?

$row[elementwithhtml]=urlencode($row[elementwithhtml]);
