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: Go to your WebControl System (http://your-domain.com/cgi-bin/plusmail) and after logging in click on "Free Scripts" and then select PHP from the list of available scripts. PHP will be installed instantly.
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. Click here for more info at our manual.
Q: What is the current version of PHP offered to clients?
A: Currently PHP 4.3.4 is being distributed.
Q: What USERID do my PHP scripts run under?
A: Your PHP script will run under your USERID and group in CGI mode and nobody/nobody in module mode.
Q: Do I have access to my own PHP configuration (php.ini)?
A: For PHP in CGI mode --> Yes.
For this you will need to grab the default php.ini on the server from /etc/php.ini customize it and put it into your /cgi-bin directory of your virtual server.
