Inserting PHP code onto a FP2003 page

I want to publish live news feeds on my site.

I can get the code to show those feeds in PHP.

I have converted the page file name to a .PHP extention.

But I cannot get the actual news to appear on my page.

Do I have to surround my PHP code with some special html code in order to
make it come live?
 
Are you hosted on a server that supports PHP?

Yes, I am.

Ok, then you need to check with the site that is providing the newsfeed for the required code.

I have got the required code. My problem is that when I paste it in to Front Page all I see is the code not the news.

Is there some special place where I need to insert the code or some special
way that this code needs to be inserted?
 
PHP in an FP web page looks a little like this:

----------------
<html>

<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Language" content="en-us">
<meta name="GENERATOR" content="Microsoft FrontPage 6.0">
<meta name="ProgId" content="FrontPage.Editor.Document">
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=windows-1252">
<title>Revision History</title>
<meta name="Microsoft Border" content="tb, default">
</head>

<body>

<h2>Recent revisions to an Unofficial FAQ for
<a href="microsoft.public.money</a></h2>

<script language = "php">
/* pick up some handy includes */
require_once "faq_dbconnect_php.inc";
require_once 'faq_semiHTMLformatter_php.inc';

/* Connect to the database server */
$dbcnx = faq_dbServerConnect();

if (! $dbcnx) {
die("<p>Unable to connect to the database server at this
time.</p>\r\n</body>\r\n</html>\r\n");
}

/* Select the test database */
if (! faq_dbSelect()) {
/* Closing connection */
mysql_close($dbcnx);

die("<p>Unable to locate the FAQ database at this
time.</p>\r\n</body>\r\n</html>\r\n");
}

/* Request the text of all the categories */
$resultUpdates = @mysql_query("SELECT DATE_FORMAT(tblupdates.dtmUpdateDate,
'%d %M %Y') AS dateFrmtd, tblupdates.memUpdateStr " .
'FROM tblupdates ' .
'WHERE
(tblupdates.dtmUpdateDate>DATE_SUB(CURDATE(), INTERVAL 6 MONTH)) ' .
'ORDER BY tblupdates.dtmUpdateDate DESC ' .
'LIMIT 6');

if (! $resultUpdates) {
/* Closing connection */
mysql_close($dbcnx);

die('<p>Error performing query: ' . mysql_error() . ' File: ' . __FILE__ .
' on line: ' . __LINE__ . "</p>\r\n</body>\r\n</html>\r\n");
}


/* Display the text of each update in a paragraph */
while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($resultUpdates)) {
echo wordwrap('<P>' . $row['dateFrmtd'] . ' -- ' .
faq_formatSemiHTMLtoHTML($row['memUpdateStr'], 'faqdb.php?') .
"</p>\r\n\r\n");
}

/* Free resultset */
mysql_free_result($resultUpdates);

/* Closing connection */
mysql_close($dbcnx);

</script>

</body>

Test that your PHP is actually working for your pages on the web server with
a test page name phpinfo.php with contents:

----------------
<?php

// Show all information, defaults to INFO_ALL

phpinfo();

?>
