Just created my account, and started to code... but...

<?php
echo "hello world";
?>

doesn't work ^^

just displays the code, i cant see any settings for this anywhere.... do i need to activate php?

What did you call the file? It needs to have a .php extension. There is no activation, it always works.

You'll need to write it in a text editor then upload it via ftp, the document you've written with the control panel's editor has replaced the characters for HTML entities. You can also try switching to 'source' mode in the editor.

I dont like this, i can get it working, but when i load it up to edit, its totaly changed....

this makes tweaking hard.

also im getting "Warning: mysql_fetch_array(): supplied argument is not a valid MySQL result resource in /www/vndv.com/k/j/4/kj420/htdocs/index.php on line 20" errors...

Don't use the control panels editor. Use a program like notepad++ or similar. (Syntax highlighting ftw!!)

The control panel has to be messing up very much if it's trying to get something from a MySQL database to print "Hello World:

Oh well, I'm using Notepad++ and have no problems. I don't use this host (Well, I started for one thing and found it to be inconvenient and bought a hosting for a domain instead).
