<p>I didn't realise that I could use HTML in a php script. I hand
have now copied andrew.html to index.php but only div1 is
displayed. How do I get the whole screen displayed ?<br>

<div>Andrew, the page you linked (<a
href="http://www.andrewnramage.co.uk/andrew.html"
rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" moz-do-not-send="true">www.andrewnramage.co.uk/andrew.html</a>)
contains some PHP scripts, but it is being served as HTML.
Instead of the server recognising it as a php page and
executing the code, it is just treating it as plain text and
sending it all to the browser.</div>

</div>
<div>That has the consequence that we can all see your PHP code,
including the (secret) password!</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>As a first step, you could rename the file from andrew.html
to andrew.php; do the same for any other pages containing PHP
code; and update any links and form actions.</div>
