Can I use
PHP on my web pages?
PHP
is a programming language for web sites. It is a server side language - the web
server does the work, and sends the results to the web browser of the person visiting
the site. PHP is a very powerful language, especially good at working with databases
and authentication scripts (passwords). A lot of PHP is used by Internet Design
- including our web mail package.
If you have an
account with us that includes PHP, then you can use PHP in your site. We use PHP
4, and we have MySQL accounts available, should your scripts require one.
To
test to see if PHP works on your site, copy the following text, and paste it in
a file called test.php - upload this to your server, and visit the page. If it
looks like what you pasted in, then you do not have PHP, if you see a lot of information,
then PHP works on your site. To see what the result should look like, click test.php.
"
<? phpinfo();
?>
"
If your results are similar to the results on the test page here, your PHP
is fully working! If you want some scripts to play with, you can start at:
Internet Design resources
The PHP Resource Index.
