Well, I think my problem is the actual set up for php page. I can\'t figure out what to put as my testing server and/or files, I\'ve tried every combination. Perhaps you can shed some light on this and I\'ll have it figured out. It seems as if the two cant\' talk to each other......it has something to do with the testing server? Please help!

Ok, I know my server runs php and I have officially configured my computer to run php. I tried again and kept getting this error \"parse error:parse error in/home/lora2/public_html/test.php on line 2\" What am I doing wrong? Please help, I\'m on my third drink already, it\'s driving me nuts! Thanks Lora

Hi, thanks for getting back to me so quickly, I\'m going crazy. Before I go any further, let me ask, is there something I need to do to my computer itself to enable php? I have an Apple G4 and I\"m running OSX Jaguar? Other question, do I need to set up a new php site within dreamweaver first? I\'m confused. I\'m under the impression that the local web server needs to be configured to parse php includes, maybe I\"m confused on where and what is my local webserver? Please shed more light. Thank you. :oops:

Ok, I appreciate the help, but I guess I need a bit more. I will tell you what I did and you tell me what I did wrong. I used BBedit and typed the code like you said, I uploaded; it didn\'t work. Then I thought perhaps you have to put it into the cgi bin, so I tried that; didn\'t work. On both of those I kept getting this error \"parse error:parse error in/home/lora2/public_html/test.php\" So then I went back to dreamweaver and try to go through setting the site up for php like I would a regular site although I\'m not sure if I used the correct info in the host directory and all of that, cause I got this error \"http error 404\" \"Possible reason: 10 filed in the \"xxxxx\" folder that have the \".php\" file extension are not being executed by the testing server. 2) The \"xxxxx\" folder does not map to the \"xxxx\"url prefix maps to the root of your site. I\'m using \"xxxxx\" instead of typing out the whole folder name. So is this maybe my problem is in the set up, I know the hosting company that I use is php enabled and there is no problem on their end. I appreciate the help greatly....... thank you Again I don\'t want to write php, I just want to be able to use scripts that I have downloaded. Lora :)

I\'m a bit confused and lost alot of sleep trying to figure out how to use pre-made scripts and incorporate them into my sites using dreamweaver. Do you have to set up a seperate site for php or can you just copy and paste into your html and then once you upload it to the server, it will work???? Please help :oops:

I know this is going to sound like a stupid question, but I\'ve lost too much sleep and I\'m going crazy. I have downloaded alot of php scripts that I would like to incorporate into my websites. I use Dreamweaver MX. I\'m a bit confused on how and where to put the script. Do you have to set up a seperate php site or do you just paste it into your site and upload it to the server and then it will work? Please help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!![php:1:5915f2b6cc]<?php ?>[/php:1:5915f2b6cc]
