What version of PHP is running on the server? Also, have you checked that there is file at the location specified in your first error message? Are you able to view any .php pages or are you only having problems with just a few pages written with PHP? Please answer each question and I'll see if I can help you.

Which version exactly are you running of PHP. I believe the most current is 4.3.7 or so, but there are significant changes between 4.0.0 (for example) and 4.3.7.

Also, do you know how to check if register_globals is enabled or disabled?

Previous question... please let me know:
Also, have you checked that there is file at the location specified in your first error message? Does the file:

/home/blettner/public_html/index.php

exist at that location?

[to28dk]

well that's is it..i have the 4.3.7
i have checked and i found out that the file is not there
/home/blettner/public_html/index.php

so should i upload that file again plz?

thank you so much

Yeah, try uploading that file again and double-checking that it's in the path the other script is expecting to find it in. Then see if the error still occurs when you view the calling page. That might take care of the first problem, but let's start with that before we do the second error message.

[to28dk]

thank you so much..
can i ask you a stupid plz question that i was wondering about
well, suppose i don't know the version of the php, suppose i visited a php site and wanted to know what version it runs..what should do to know that?
you know, i am new to php and i wanna learn more about it if u don't mind rachel..thank you loads

To answer your question regarding php version checking... you could create a file called phpinfo.php

In that file, put only the following contents:

<?php phpinfo(); ?>

Save that file on your web server with your other web pages.

Try viewing the page in your browser and it should show you a bunch of PHP config info.

BTW, did you solve the first problem by re-uploading the missing page?

[to28dk]

yes rachel..i have uploaded that missing file and it's okay now..
thank you for the help Rachel..
on the othert hand, i have installed on my 200MB space an application called PHPX 3.5.0 and when i pointed my browser to the install.php i couldn't find it at all and the browser simply gives me an error that there is no page..
you can see the PHPX 3.5.0 i download it from here: www.phpx.org
but wanted to try it but unfordtunately i can't 🙁 .

[rachel2004]

I'm not familiar with phpx.org so I'll have to check it out, but probably not until later. In the meantime, maybe someone else could help you out with it. In my opinion, since the original problem of this thread has been solved, you might want to mark this thread as "resolved" and then open up a new thread regarding your phpx problem with a good subject line to attract would-be troubleshooters.

[to28dk]

you are so nice..thank you for your valuable help Rachel..i have one left question if you don't mind of course..
in your point of view what is the best way to learn PHP please?
thank you so much
