    When trying to run a simple PHP test form using a Windows CE 5 or 6 device I'm getting errors... Page cannot be displayed / Cannot find server or DNS error Internet explorer The test PHP page does execute correctly from a PC. Any know issues with Windows CE running on a Motorola MC3000 series handheld, or CE specifically? Test php code...

    $name ";
    echo "
    Enter new text.";
    }
    ?>

      It's not a question of whether the device is "running" the php code. PHP is a server-side scripting language, meaning that when you go to a page with a ".php" extension, the server looks at the php code with an interpreter, and the php script generates html code which gets sent to your browser. In fact, you could name any static html file with a ".php" extension, or any other extension, and your browser wouldn't care. The only thing that matters is that the server tells your browser (through the headers) that the file that is being sent back is HTML text. If you really wanted, you could set up a server and have it tell browsers that ".bmp" files are html files and you could create a file with a .bmp extension and it be treated by any browser just like it had a .html extension.

      It sounds like you have an incorrect setting with the browser. Can you access any other web page, such as google?

        I agree and everything is fine when using desktops with IE or Chrome. It seems like the CE devices have trouble only when variables are invovled when the desktop browers don't? The CE devices will display the following PHP test correctly...
