INSTALLATION OF PHPMYADMIN

Asked by Grig

I am have been trying to install phpmyadmin on my Thinkpad R50e running on Ubuntu 8.10. I have gotten mysql working. The php is not working well,when I tried the script I got on the internet and got this error message "Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING, expecting ',' or ';' in /var/www/test.php on line 1" and the script was this < ?php echo “Hello World”; ?>. The "Hello World" did not show.The phpmyadmin page did not work. There's something I am doing wrong. Can anyone help?

how did you install phpadmin ? did you use the ubuntu package ?

see also : https://help.ubuntu.com/community/phpMyAdmin

I'm not sure where this test.php but there seems to be a space between the < and the ? that is probably causing this error message

Can you help with this problem?
