PHP
Important!
PHP file must be in your t:\webpages area
It will not run on your H:drive space!
It will not run if you use T:\webpages\... as an
address as it is a FILE server path
It must be http://web.fcet.staffs.ac.uk/..., a
URL, a web server path
Check syntax carefully, especially semicolons
and quotes
