php code issue using advanced poll

hi Guys...

I may be stupid as i am new to php - used to be a c++ geek - but i need some help!

have done an install of advanced server - cool - but cant get the code to display the poll. The area that sticks is

echo $php_poll->poll_process(1);

as the compiler appears to think that the code " -> " is and end to the "<?PHP" tag.

Can anyone show me the error of my foolish ways - please - its gotta be easy! i am ein dumbkopf!

Stupid question but you did make the page use the .php extension and ot .htm nor .htm ?

if it really is thinking that -> is the end of the PHP code then your hosts have seriously screwed with the server.

thanks CarboMan,

i used .php
i cant make head not tail of it. [stupid tagging joke there]
maybe a new hosting org

i think i drink too much coffee.
