command ?php does not work, but !--#include does. Why?

Hi.

When I add the command  , the poll works.
But when I try to customize it such as this:
<?php
include_once "/www/mperreault/latexlover/poll/booth.php";
echo $php_poll->poll_process(4);
$php_poll->set_template_set("plain");
?>

it doesn't show up on the html page. All I get is the following text being echoed instead of the poll: poll_process(4); $php_poll->set_template_set("plain"); ?>

Why?
This is unfortunate beause I cannot seem to be able to customize the poll!

See http://www.latexlover.net/latexlover/chatroom/test.html . The first poll shows up fine. bellow, the ?php command echoes a text command.

I'v efound the answer to my question.
It seems that in order to work, the file extension must be set to .php and not .html or .shtml .

I sure wish there was a DETAILED Manual somewhere on the site.

For future reference ANYTIME you are using PHP in your page, you MUST name that page .php
