I am attempting to drop a simple line of code into my webpage. It doesn't work.

This is the code that the news site says that I need to drop into my page to make it work:

<?php $r=@file_get_contents("http://bymnews.com/photos/get_photo.php?nb=248&nb=5"); if ($r===false) { echo("Server down"); } else { echo $r;} ?>

I got it from their website: http://www.bymnews.com/html/Webmaster.html

It doesn't work for me, so what am I doing wrong? Am I not supposed to copy that code into the body of my html-code?

Is the test page hosted online?
