PHP Help Options

[theerinkal]

Is there any way of hosting a site on freewebs.com and having PHP files at the same time?

My Friend and I are discussing it and we don't know.

Please Help.

My site, if you want to check it out (I'm working on the layout), is sugar-blossom.net.

I paid freewebs for a year so I would like to stay there if I can. But my friend told me that PHP is easier than using HTML, CSS and Javascript.

CSS > HTML any day. It's just so much easier. So boo to the people that selected HTML and not CSS. :P

I really don't know the difference. So I would think that I would say HTML is what I use but it could be CSS.

I'm going to keep my site at freewebs but thanks for the help!! <3

CSS is dependent on HTML to work, since CSS is just coding to style the HTML.

PHP & javascript are also part of HTML, but in a different sense. PHP does things on the back end of the server (it's code that's processed before the page displays, so you can't actually see it). javascript is similar, but shows up in the code.

what you should be using depends on what you want to do. if you want to host a blog on your website, then you'll usually have to use PHP. and actually, being on freewebs, you still can use PHP, just in a different way.

say you wanted to install cutenews on your freewebs account (you can't use the better developed ones, like wordpress or fanupdate, because those require mysql databases). when installing cutenews, you're given a code like this to put on your site:

CODE

<?php
include('path/to/show_news.php');
?>

to make it work on freewebs, you'd form the code like this:

CODE

<script language="php">
include('path/to/show_news.php');
</script>
