A: PHP is a server-side, cross-platform, HTML embedded scripting language. It has a syntax familiar to both Perl and C. PHP-enabled web pages are treated just like regular HTML pages and you can create and edit them the same way you normally create regular HTML pages.
Q: How do I install PHP on my domain?
A: You don't need to install PHP. It's already running on all accounts, due to the implementation as an Apache Module ( mod_php ).
Q: How do I execute PHP scripts?
A: Any web page you create that uses PHP should be saved with a .php extension to be parsed properly.
Q: What is the current version of PHP offered to clients?
A: Currently PHP 4.3.9 is being distributed.
Q: What USERID do my PHP scripts run under?
A: Your PHP script will run under userid NOBODY, because it's installed as an Apache module.
Q: Do I have access to my own PHP configuration (php.ini)?
A: No, sorry. This is not possible in the Economy Plan.
