my ultimate goal is to be able to run ikonboard or something like it. right now i am just working on getting php working. i created a php file with contents of

<? phptest() ?>
<? echo "Hello there" ?>

when i try and access that file on my server, i get a blank screen with the source being
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN">
<HTML><HEAD>
<META http-equiv=Content-Type content="text/html; charset=windows-1252"></HEAD>
<BODY></BODY></HTML>

any hints on what is wrong? what i need to do? any suggestions?

Try this
<?php phptest(); ?>
<?php echo "Hello there"; ?>
You need semicolons to end lines.

Where did this phptest() function come from? As far as I know, there is no such function.

Try <?php
phpinfo();
?>
instead.
