do you know what is PHP and what is does ? Do you know what whis line does?

Code: Select all

print_r ($_SERVER);

Because i think you dont get what is php and what for it is used. By the way, why do you want to upgrade to php, what you will achieve ?

Well I never actualy expected a reply like that, but, as I said in my previous post I cannot script PHP, so I don't know what the line does, but PHP is more powerful then HTML, I've seen it used, and I have a friend that has made an online game in PHP, and I am interested in making an online game. And I am not satisfied with the Site Frames that Fantastico will let me install, if you have any more question, just tell me

i'm sorry for been rude, i'm apologize
so, if you dont know php, why you want to update your site? With no knowledge of php you will not be able to do it, because there is no point to make your file with extension php without any php source inside a file

You can actually use CMS software for a website, but it'll be like starting over. You might wanna check out CuteNews or just learn PHP, it's not hard at all.

You don't need any software to write a script in php. Just save a file as a .php and it will automatically be a php script on a server that has php running. You could even use notepad if you wanted. If you want to learn php, I suggest checking out php.net. It may help you

Okay, thankyou everyone, I'll go learn PHP now

EDIT: PHP.net doesnt seem very helpful for learning, is there a tutorial?

This may not be very useful, because as far as i remember there is no php tutorials, only php manual. It will be required later, when you will begin to work with scripts. For now i can suggest http://w3schools.com/php/default.asp and for later times we will see, but now try this
