HELP plz

Hello i don´t have any idea about PHP, i´m 14 years old, i´m just trying to ride advanced actionscript for Flash 5 =)... I just got the .php file for the vBulletin, some cool php forum that gives a freeware version, and i´d like to add it to my web site. BUT I don´t know where to start. How do I edit a php file? How can i make it work. As i have read in the vBulletin site, it should work as it is, but when i upload i just get a bunch of code in my browser.
I would really appreciate if someone could lend me a hand. Anyway i think i will take some php classes on the next 6 months
Thx anyway

You push the ANY key which is located on the front of your computer (its sometimes hiddenly called the reset button ) 🙂 j/k

No PHP is just simply put a text file. Text that gets run by the PHP engine and outputs some data. Sounds to me like you dont have PHP installed on your system or that your httpd.conf file needs tweeking. (You do have a webserver running??). So to answer your questions:

1) Open PHP with any text view (Windows: Notepad, Linux/Unix Emacs or Vi)

2) Make sure that you have the following installed:
Web Server (ex apache)
PHP
PHP/Apache Mod

3)Setup your httpd.conf file to accept PHP as a mime/type

Check all this and it should run.

Thx a lot i´ll install all that stuff, i just thought that if i uploaded the file to some php-compatible server it would work without having to work on it.
I´ll write again if i need to.
