I think that the issue there is that you're using HTML to do a statement it doesn't know how to intrepret. So since you're saying "include this php file" in your code, the code is still HTML. Now how we solved that issue here was we did an IFRAME and published the PHP file in the IFRAME. This way we could use PHP or ASP with no issues.

Guys,
The following are the orginal HTML statment and the php statements . Acutally I just wanted the php executing an idiot task, which was displaying a line. However, that simple line never shows up.
###### HTML file #########
<form action="processorder.php" method=post>
<table border=0>
<tr bgcolor=#cccccc>
<td width=150>item</td>
<td width=15>Quantity</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Tires</td>
<td align="center"><input type="text" name="tireqty" size="3"
maxlength="3"></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Oil</td>
<td align="center"><input type="text" name="oilqty" size="3" maxlength="3"></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Spark Plugs</td>
<td align="center"><input type="text" name="sparkqty" size="3"
maxlength="3"></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td colspan="2" align="center"><input type="submit" value="Submit Order"></td>
</tr>
</table>
</form>
###### PHP file #########
<html>
<head>
<title> Bob's Auto Parts - Order Results</title>
</head>
<body>
<h1>Bob's Auto Parts</h1>
<h2>Order Results</h2>
<?php
echo '<p> Order processed.</p>';
?>
</body>
</html>

So, you're not seeing "Order processed"?

I assume that if you do "View Source", the rest of the text is there.

Then your PHP installation is working correctly. This sounds like a browser issue.
