Are you creating your PHP file in Word or Wordpad? Use Notepad, or get a
better editor (I use HomeSite from www.allaire.com and love it). All that
{\rtf1 ... stuff is Rich Text Document file format markup ... it has no
place in an HTML or PHP file.

htdocs can work, but you're supposed to create your own directory (in your
home directory) and use that. At least under *nix, that's how it works.
Don't know how that works on Windows 2000.
