HELP? My Host has NO PHP, pull this data from another server

Hi,

I'm wondering if anyone here can point me in the right direction. My host
does not provide php, and so I need to pull this data from another server
that does support such scripting.

Help?

Do they provide any kind of CGI functionality?

Look, since you are already gonna get another server that does support php,
then what is the other one for? Is there no way you could get your money
back? Or could you get php support from the current host by paying some
extra? Did it not occur to you that maybe you might need PHP? No offence,
but wasn't that a bit hasty decision. If you commit to something for three
years and especially if it costs a lot, shouldn't you find out these things
_before_ you sign anything or pay anything...

Hi,
Yea, they are wanting me to move to their "sister" company who does $
per-byte php hosting. I'm not trying to use a database or anything. I'm
just trying to use it to put pages together, mostly heading/menu/body html
files to be thrown together. Is there any kind of work around for such as
this?
Does anyone know of any free hosting sites which provide php, that I might
do some testing, some trial and error, some learning/training, to get the
feel of it, to see if this is right?
Thanks,
Caesar

For that SSI (Server-Side Includes) would be suitable. Find out if they
support that. SSI would suit for that purpouse well, and it is quite simple.

For example, including jeader and footer pages would be just
<!--#include virtual="/header.html" -->
The page itself, blaah blaah blaah...
<!--#include virtual="/footer.html" -->

Find out if you could get SSI support from the current provider.
Does anyone know of any free hosting sites which provide php, that I

Yeah, it's called localhost, your own computer.. :) Install and setup your
own web server to your own computer. Apache and php are both free and you
can install them both to you own computer to make a training server. That's
how I started... Installing and configuring them together is a job, I'll
admit that, but there are plenty of online manuals and tutorials for that.

Hello Kimmo, Caesar;

There are a number of projects that put all these things together for you.
One that I like to run locally on my laptop is WAMP5.

Basically an install for Windows that Includes Apache, MySQL and PHP5.

Download and Install and useful in a couple of minutes.

Is there anything this convenient that uses Php 4 (for Windows)? I'm
still using the old PhpTriad that I installed a couple of years ago.
I've updated Php and Phpmyadmin, but I don't think I'm getting the
performance I should. (My scripts perform faster - the pages are
delivered faster to my browser - on the remote Linux server I use than
on my PC).

Hello Caesar,

You can have the best of both with WAMP5

http://www.wampserver.com/en/index.php

Get the PHP4 add-on and have PHP4 and PHP5 at your disposal on the same
personal server.
