Thanks Prismatic, that's what I thought. Mandy [!--quoteo(post=371165:date=May 4 2006, 01:22 AM:name=Prismatic)--][div class=\'quotetop\']QUOTE(Prismatic @ May 4 2006, 01:22 AM) [snapback]371165[/snapback][/div][div class=\'quotemain\'][!--quotec--] Whoa now, askjames01, it just sounds like he was trying to incorporate a poll script into his HTML page, which ment he had to rename it to .php for the parser to see it, absolutely nothing wrong with doing that. TheTechChik, It's ok to have html in a php file, the php parser will only process code it sees between the php tags (<?php ... ?>). Unless you plan to have this poll on all of your pages you can leave them alone :) [/quote]

I am really glad that there is a Newbie section like this or I would feel really lame right now. Dreamweaver is telling me I need to specify a "Testing Server". I get it... I need to either upload the code to a machine running PHP or setup my local machine to run PHP. But I'm running Windows XP. Am I correct that PHP is a Linux app? If so that's ok because I have a dual boot machine on my network I just haven't booted it into Linux in a really long time. It's a Suse 9 box and I think everything I need is probably on the disks though I'm not 100% sure. Is this my best option or does anyone have a better idea or am I off-track entirely?

I just installed a php poll script and initially had an error. By browsing forums I found that I needed to rename the page from index.html to index.php and that worked. My question is... Should I change any of the rest of the page code since it still has <html> above the <head>? The page also contains JavaScript, do I need to do anything different with that? Lastly, I put the poll on my main index but left all of the other pages as .html. Should I change them too for consistency?
