[Resolved] Sample Php Code To Test Web Host

[dirtdog1960]

My hosts faq says they support php. But I am having problems. Any simple php code I could try in an html page to test if they enabled php?

Thanks

Make a file called 'test.php' with contents like so:

<?PHP

phpinfo();

?>

If you see some tables with version numbers, settings, and such, then PHP is working just fine.

EDIT: While possible, though very unlikely, your host may have changed the extension used for PHP files (like .phtml or something similar). The .php extension is standard, however, and I see no reason for them to change it, so just stick with .php for now. If that does not work, you might try giving us the name and/or website of your host.

Thanks bradgrafelman 🙂

I tried the test.php and got an error. I am going to contact the host's support with this and ask them what is up.

the fact there was an error means they have the parser then, i dont think these days phpinfo is allowed to be used by regular users on hosts because it is a security issue:
try to see if this works!:

<?php
echo "PHP is running!";
?>
