RE: [PHP] confused

test it.. create a file called test.php and type there only this: <?phpinfo()?> upload it on the server and open the page in your browser, if it does not have anything special in it (you'll notice if something special happens, believe me...) then try to rename the file in test.php3, if nothing means that the server does not have PHP installed in it. if so means you cannot use it at all, whatever you would write in PHP wouldn't work... It is easy to install PHP, but it has to be done by the owner (administrator) of the server.. try to request it...

I would like to use PHP within my web site, but it is not me that owns the server, too use PHP do i have to install PHP3 etc? Or can i just write in the language and if my server understands it it will work? Please help as i am getting more and more confused by the hour! Thanks in advance for any help given.
