do you have an example? One thing that seems wrong are your "or" operators they should be "||" not "|".

It sounds like the server isn't preprocessing the file for scripts at all. Do you have any other php scripts running on the same server that are working properly? If that's the only script you've tried on this server, try another one that you know works and see what happens. If the server has php installed and it is working properly, make sure the file extension is "php" and not "html" or "htm". The server won't check the file for scripts if it doesn't find the right extension.

It's really not the fact that the extension is .php, but it also has to be configured in Apache or whatever browser you have to run .php files through PHP.
