Do they provide any kind of CGI functionality?

What data?

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.

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.

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).

Joe,
I guess that nobody has a clue as to how to get around this. I need php
processing without local hosted php, need the processing done off-site and
pulled back. I see this done often with counters and visitor stats, but
I've never seen it done with dynamic html pages. Any clues?
Thanks,
Hat

Yea, that's one way around it, using frames or iframes, but that's like
going backwards about 10 years. I had hoped that there was a way to do
alternative offsite remote server php processing
hat

newer software.

Also, being able to test scripts in Php5 will give me a head start on
using it before my host switches.

I just run my own server. Someone actually gave me a 333 mhz machine, I
installed Linux (free), Perl (free), Apache (free), PHP (free), etc. I
purchased a 200 Gig drive (~$250) and wham! 200 Gig of web space for
practically nothing. Ain't blindly fast but good enough...

Will the information superhighway have any rest stops?

Man Thanks,
I needed a miracle, and here it is. They don't ask me to transfer domain,
but only to point to their servers. I have 4 domains, and so this will be a
piece of cake. Thanks,
caesar

If you're only doing a couple websites, and don't have to worry about client
satisfaction, that is certainly a good way to go. The biggest bottleneck
you'll face is the connection speed - but, again, if you don't have a lot of
busy sites, that's not much problem.

Is your server on a network & sharing your internet connection (DSL or
cable, I would assume?)

Their ftp upload login detail is very strange,
but I finally figured it out, and posted it to their
forums. Their support forums have zero support,
which means with the free accounts you are on
your own. Also says that it requires that default
file be index.html, so for php, I'm gonna have to
use a refresh fwd meta tag, I must assume.
Any comments welcome.

Try putting your main page at index.php with no index.html in the
directory. If they have set up the web server correctly it should be
found.

Ken

Ken,
Thanks, and it was found.
