musicdirector Posted March 17, 2006 Share Posted March 17, 2006 How do I know whether or not our web host (Verio) will allow my website to have php? Please forgive my lack of accurate terms. Is there some place I can find that information? I have emailed customer support but not heard back yet.thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kenrbnsn Posted March 17, 2006 Share Posted March 17, 2006 Asking your host is the easiest way. You could create a test script named testit.php with this line in it:[code]<?php phpinfo (); ?>[/code] (remove the space between phpinfo and the () Upload it to your hosting area and then invoke it in your browser at [a href=\"http://your.domainname.com/testit.php\" target=\"_blank\"]http://your.domainname.com/testit.php[/a] If you see many pages of nicely formatted information, your server supports PHP Ken Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
musicdirector Posted March 17, 2006 Author Share Posted March 17, 2006 okay...proof of how little I know about this: Where do I put the script? On an existing web page and upload it? Where in the code do I insert it?thanks!md Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyB Posted March 18, 2006 Share Posted March 18, 2006 Write the code that Ken suggested. Save it as testit.php. It's a complete, stand-alone php script - it doesn't need to be pasted into a page.Upload testit.php to the same place on your web site as your index page. Browse to www.yourdomain.com/testit.php Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
musicdirector Posted March 18, 2006 Author Share Posted March 18, 2006 Holy cow! Thanks! I get a page with loads of tables and the heading on the page is "PHP Version 4.4.1" So, I'm thinking that I have PHP installed. Okey dokey...thanks! Now I go back to my other thread and try to figure out why the php calendar script wouldn't show up.thanks!md Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
