I'm not sure what you are doing wrong, but since PHP is entirely
processed by the server, the browser never sees it.
Since what you say Opera shows you appears to be nothing whatever to do
with your script, I think your Opera must be looking at somewhere else
entirely. Do you have an odd proxy set up?
