am i correct that you cannot use php with fp 2003, that i would need to use
asp as the server side script, thx
 
No, you are not correct. Many people combine FP with PHP, and many combine
it with ASP or ASP.net. The thing to remember is FrontPage is a web
publishing program, not a programming platform. Consider it's "html" pages
the same as any web publishing program's "html" pages, and write the source
accordingly.
 
depends on what your server supports; asp or php
 
php is a server-side scripting language for Linux/Unix, ASP is for Windows.
Depends on your hosting co.

But yes, you can integrate PHP into a frontpage site if your host supports
PHP.
 
No you can use PHP, you have to host it on Unix/Linux server. ASP is a
Windows Server Side Scripting language so you have to host it on a Windows
server.

nothing preventing you from programming PHP code.

PHP is good on windows too. ;-)

gskywalkers,
I realize I'm replying to a message that is over a year old but your link
below only worked for me when I did not include the file name index.html.
I'm researching info on php because I plan to help with a Web site that has
the php extension on all of its pages. I don't believe it is a FrontPage site
and I'm wondering if I'll be able to use my FP2003 to make updates then use
my FTP program to do the posting.
Thanks,
Clive
