My Site wont work for me !!!

have you tried running the .php page on your computer locally ?

the html parts will appear ok but the parts that are dynamically created using the php will not unless you have php and apache running locally on your computer...if you do not have this done and want to I will tell you how to do it.
 
do you mean go to the folder where my index.php is ?

i have tried that and it dont open....

on the server my mates site is a index.html and he cannot see that !
 
I mean have you tried opening the actual site on your computer offline i.e. not on the net using localhost...this will only work if you have a web server installed on your computer...this is handy for when you want to test your dynamic pages (php pages) locally on your computer without having to upload them to the remote server to test them
 
It is useful for running your php scripts locally on your computer without having to upload to the web server.

It is not really that complicated to do and I will help you set that up if you want to, I do not not mind...

It does look confusing to start with but you will understand it as you work away, useful if you are looking to get into dynamic web design a bit more, something really useful to learn about.

IAN, quick, get this man's name, rank & serial number ... I would like to see how. :D

oops, excuse me for buttin' in. :)
 
Have I said something wrong??? by the looks of that quote i have...I have been working at this sort of thing for quite a few years now...I always run my php scripts locally first to ensure that everything is working before getting them live on my web server...I am trying to give a bit of advice to somebody, if I am wrong about something then please tell me but I do not think I am because it always has worked for me...

If however you are interested in learning how to do this it is very easily done, you can download an installer package for php, mysql and apache for windows, if you are running on other platforms such as Linux, Unix etc there are installer packages available for these as well.

Wrong! good god NO! ... I'm embarrassed to say I know nuffin' on the subject, always let Dreamweaver do it for me.

I would like you very much to carry on ... I try and learn summit new everyday. :thumb:


My 'comedy' is an art, it took me years to learn ... and I still confuse most of the people most of the time. :D
 
OH - A BIG SORRY FROM ME then, I always misunderstand ppl lol

I have always worked at hard coding my applications, helps me understand what is happening better. I never use any WYSIWYG packages, they confuse me lol

If theres anything you want to know on this like setting up your own local web server using apache, php mysql etc just ask...i dont mind.

It is something good to learn, tests the mind especially with these little mind boggling problems, I have had my fair share of these especially with creating different web services...its fun fun fun
