My dreamweaver doesn't work right

I'm a true beginner in php. I installed wampserver and adobe dreamweaver. I tried to write some codes to understand php, but it doesn't work right. My code is here; 

<HTML>
<HEAD>
<TITLE>function testing</TITLE>
<meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=ISO-8859-9">
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=windows-1254">
</HEAD>
<BODY>
<?php
function sum1 ($num1, $num2) {$result = $num1 + $num2; return $result;}
function sub1 ($num1, $num2) {$result = $num1 - $num2; return $result;}
$num1 = 12; $num2 = 5;
print sum1($num1, $num2); print ("<br>"); print sub1($num1, $num2); print ("<br>");
?>
</BODY>
</HTML>

I tried to run and i just see that in my browser;

"); print sub1($num1, $num2); print (" "); ?>

what do you suggest me to fix this problem? Thanks in advance..

It seems that you have defined function with name of sum1 an sub1 and calling it via sum and sub respectively.

So, your browser is not displaying output but its showing error..

Try out following.

<HTML>
<HEAD>
<TITLE>function testing</TITLE>
<meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=ISO-8859-9">
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=windows-1254">
</HEAD>
<BODY>
<?php
function sum1 ($num1, $num2) {$result = $num1 + $num2; return $result;}
function sub1 ($num1, $num2) {$result = $num1 - $num2; return $result;}
$num1 = 12; $num2 = 5;
print sum($num1, $num2); print ("<br>"); print sub($num1, $num2); print ("<br>");
?>
</BODY>
</HTML>

Thanks!

It looks like your file isn't being handled as a php file, check the server logs and make sure you have php enabled in your apache.

And as a side note, oh dear god the uglyness of uppercase tag names is killing my eyes, and why in the world are you using 2 content-type tags?

Please check this and this to produce valid (x)html code from dreamweaver.

Why don't you use parenthesis aroud function calls? And function names are differents.

Anyway it's recommended to use echo which allow to forget parenthesis among others.

It seems that your server doesn't recognize the > of print("<br>") to be the closing part of the php-tag. This is due to the server not knowing how to handle your php-tag.

Hope this helps you
