yeah, that's a newbie question! but im one of them too... onload is a client-side event handler - you can use it to call javascripts, but if you did onLoad="http://murphatnight.com/hello.php3", then all you'd get would be a javascript syntax error php is server-side, so client-side functions and methods and properties are beyond its reach sorry about that it looks like you might want to do <body> <?php include("http://murphatnight.com/hello.php3"); ?> </body> chris "Murph" <murph@murphatnight.com> wrote in message news:003c01bffb61$40525400$25549318@ne.mediaone.net... > > At the least,l you should be able to call it as you would any cgi - > > something like > > > > http://your.host/path/to/php/path/to/test.htm > > > > Depending on the server and the cooperative nature of the ISP, it may > > also be possible to add .htaccess file(s) to your web structure to allow > > selected, or all, files to be parsed by the php cgi. > --- > > > That's reasonable enough and I've had some email from Bruce Christensen that > shows exactly how my host should configure their system.
