Advanced Poll Problem

Hi, I am trying to use Advanced Poll on my website. I put this syntax into the HTML code:
<?php
include_once "/home/tommc/public_html/minipoll/booth.php";
echo $php_poll->poll_process(1);?>
Everything after the "->" (ie. what I've underlined) is not recognised by Dreamweaver or IE as valid code and the final page prints the underlined part as text. No part of the poll shows. What's the story?
Thanks,
SD.

You need php to process php code - so if you open the file on a computer without php, you only get the code, not the result. Your file needs a .php extension and be on a server with php.
