@pyroNov 15.2003 — Can you get any PHP to work? How about something like:

[code=php]<?PHP
echo "PHP is working.";
?>[/code]And be sure you have it saved with a .php extention.

Ok, I its works now.. But the host is elsewhere.. Usually its http://www.domain.com/cgi etc but mine is http://cgi.domain.com/ so how would i go about linking it to my main site?

@chadypuNov 16.2003 — php must be configured very wierd on your server then :-

php doesnt and shouldnt need a cgibin

correct me if im mistaken

@pyroNov 16.2003 — Correct. PHP rarely ever runs as a CGI build (it certainly is not recommended to run as such). It's probably the way the server is set up.

@djloquitoauthorNov 16.2003 — how can i get it to work without a cgibin?
Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:
@pyroNov 16.2003 — Do you have access to the server, to make changes?
Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:
@GonavitchMay 18.2004 — You do not need a cgi-bin at all to run php, in fact you don't even need cgi installed on the server to run php, because php has nothing to do with cgi, you just need a server that supports php.

Success!
