PHP issues in Firefox

I'm trying to start the set up of a web site that will contain HTML, CSS, PHP, MySQL, yadda yadda. My default browser is Firefox so I've been viewing the PHP file with that. When I do so however the PHP shows up as more of a client-side statement in the FF browser, but it shows up the way I want it to in IE. What's the deal?

The site is poetrynmore.freehostia.com.

The site didn't work for me. PHP is a sever side language and is not dependent on the browser to run. I am not sure what you are seeing. It may be some HTML that is not formatted properly.

I know the functionality of PHP as far as it's a server side language, but that's not keeping Firefox from refusing to show anything. Which browser did you use? Did you view the source?

I couldn't view the site earlier so I couldn't view the source. Currently the only thing showing is the phpinfo() page. It shows up the same in FF2 as IE7 as expected since the browser doesn't have anything to do with it.

Oh, I think there was something going on with the server earlier this morning. I couldn't view anything correctly in FF but IE was working as it should. It now works. They were saying everything's operational on their side last night. Guess that was a load of bs. Looks like it works now.

Someone try it again in Firefox. Again it's not working in that browser for me. I know PHP is a server-side language, so why does it not work for me in FF but it does in IE?

It's working with FF 2.x for me.

It isn't a php issue. It looks to be some rather severe overcoding. You have an external stylesheet, an internal stylesheet and inline style tags. No wonder FF is confused. It appears that you are trying to do some dropdown menus. IE isn't seeing them at all and FF is not dropping down.

Attached are screenshots which have nothing to do with PHP.
