Hi there,

I would like to install a php script as shown in this web site of reciprocal links

http://www.asianspicyrecipes.com/links/index.php

The question is how do I copy the code and modify it to suit my own web site? I have tried to use View/Source and copy the php page into my folder, and save as index.php but Microsoft Frontpage is unable to recognize and open files of type .php

What is the best get around method to add this PHP reciprocal links page to my site? I am very familiar with HTML and use the same method for PHP to replicate and modify the code.

Looking forward to your reply.

    First of all stop being a dumb n00b at programming. Second of all View Source will only show HTML, Javascript and CSS and no side scripts. Third of all to see PHP on your computer you need apache. If you want a script like that you have to make it yourself.

      Front Page is a decent HTML editor, but it really really sucks for any PHP. I would suggest you try out WinSyntax. Decent free light weight program.

      The reason I use it is because I can open multiple pages quickly and edit quickly.

      Anything in a echo or print is probably the HTML inside the PHP so you would probably want to edit that.

        Paragon, Thanks for the explanation.
        I manage to upload a sample PHP script.

        Basically I am using Command Prompt in Windows 2K, a DOS editor.

          Easy tiger. We don't need that kind of attitude round here. We all started somewhere

            yes, but at least when I started I did not ask dumb questions like why does php not show up in view source.

              Well, obviously not everyone's as wonderful as you. I wouldn't say thats a dumb question. If I didn't know the first thing about PHP, then I'd ask why the code was coming up.

              Take a chill pill.

                Is there some policy about doing advertising in your signature, though? Some people put their own sites on, which seems acceptable, but that book thing is bad batch.

                  You could say the same thing about your sig. Remember the rule about no job advertising?

                    There is nothing wrong with putting stuff in your sig. That's where we always tell people to put their ads when they spam the board.

                    Napster, I think that's a little harsh, calling a user a "dumb noob." One of the great things about phpbuilder is that it's a great resource to use when you are first starting out programming PHP. When we encounter a newbie PHP programmer, it's better to encourage them and point them in the right direction.

                    Yes, it's fun to slam newbs when they don't follow board policies. But we shouldn't ridicule them for lack of knowledge.
