PHP version of Perl?

[Anon]

Hello,
I recently got a hosting account with the thought in mind that it had PHP. However, as I looked closer, I noticed that it was the PHP version of perl. Does anyone know about this or know of any good links? It would be very helpful. I would like to use PHP on my website, since that is the programming language I know the most. Thanks.

P.S. I tried making a Hello Word Page, but nothing showed up. So, i am guess I have to add something else because it is the perl version? I don't know.

PHP version of Perl? What's that?

Do you mean Perl CGI? If so, it has nothing to do with PHP.

Lol, there is no such thing as a php version of perl. Perl is an entirely different language to php though they are both tecnically classed as using cgi (c)ommon (g)ateway (i)nterface! Most hosts these days support both but I would check with your hosting provider...

For sources on both languages try:

http://cgi.resourceindex.com
http://php.resourceindex.com

Good luck !!!
