PHP/HTML Noob

[2Luke2]

So I have two quick questions hopefully. I'm using vbulletin 5 build 28. I've created page layouts and I'm trying to add a couple things to my front page. What I don't understand is the php and html modules. I don't understand where I'm at and what the module gives me... meaning... when I place a static html module on the page and go to edit the code... do I need to put in the html/head/body etc? For the php module... what is that doing for me?

I couldn't figure out how to call my php script I need to run from inside the static html... so I just put the no kidding web address in an iframe. I know that's probably not the way to do it, but that's why I'm here asking the question :P

Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Did you look at the manual for those two modules?

Lynne, please feel free to smack me in the face for not looking for a manual...

Ok, so I tried both examples in the manual for the PHP module and neither of them worked.

Basically my steps:
Click edit page
Add module
Drag the php module down
edit the module
type in

echo "Hello ";

Save the page

Watch nothing happen haha.

I tried the other one as well.
echo "Hello ". vB5_User::get('username') .", how are you doing today?";

Any ideas?
