Thanks for the response. I'll check on what you have suggested. One thing.
PHP files are being handled. I can code:

<?
$mess = "My Message";
?>

Then in my html I can have

<?
echo $mess;

?>

and $mess is displayed..

As such, I think the php extension is enabled. But, as I said, I will check
out what you have said.

Thanks....
