does ur host support php?

[mike6787]

i'm not sure, i'll have to look into that. BTW, the host i am going to use, at least at first, is http://www.tripod.com

only a handful of free hosts actually support php so i doubt they do.

panther knows a lot more than i do about using php, i'm sure he'll reply when hes not busy.

I think that you had to upload all your files onto your server and then you have the go to one of the files and fill evertything in

I think that what you need to do is in the install.php or something like that file
