paulareno Posted January 11, 2008 Share Posted January 11, 2008 Ok so i got a login.php script and i know it's all correct because it was created by a professional but now i just need help with installing it on my site. Because im complete noob at this i have no idea what im doing so if you could cut things down to lamo terms that would be excellent, so really all i need is to be able to access the login.php script from the browser so people can enter there login details and thats it, i have tried putting it into the site directory and accessing it by www.mysite.com/login.php someone told me this would work but all that did was prompt me to download the login.php script so what do i do? Thanks for reading Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/85498-solved-help-with-php-script-installation/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
wildteen88 Posted January 11, 2008 Share Posted January 11, 2008 Your server must be configured with PHP in order for the PHP files to be parsed. PHP is not a language the web browser can understand and this is why your browser prompts you to download the file. PHP is a server side language. Is this your own server or are you renting webspace from a webhost? If you're using a webhost check with your webhost to see if they offer PHP in their packages and whether your hosting package is legible for PHP support. If they don't offer PHP with their hosting packages you'll need to find a new host which does.
