Poll posting problems

I installed the advanced poll and set everything up in the admin section. Then I copied the php code onto my index.shtml page.

When I uploaded and viewed my page, I only saw a snippet of the php code, not the poll.

So after reading here, I changed the name of my index file to index.php. But all I got was a parse error.

Help!

The parse error I get on my http://www.watersweb.net/index.php page is:

Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_REQUIRE in /home/waterswe/public_html/index.php on line 2

Put your poll on a seperate page and end it in php. Have a link to it.

Or make a text file ending in php and insert it into the spot that you want the poll to appear.

That should work as it did for me.
