PHP ready?

How can you tell if your site will handle php?

I tried <?php echo $HTTP_USER_AGENT; ?>
but I didn't get an "answer" just the string <?php echo $HTTP_USER_AGENT; ?>

If you had this in a file.php then it shows that your site isn't set up for PHP :(

Try this:

<?
$browser = getenv("HTTP_USER_AGENT");
if ($browser) {
echo ("Browser: $browser\n");
} else {
echo ("Sorry, no can do!");
}
?>

Of course if PHP is not available you won't get the "no can do line" anyway but,...
Why not just ask your ISP? ;)

If the host hasn't set the server up for PHP, it's 99% certain that any files with a .php extension would be treated as text files - ie the <?php echo $HTTP_USER_AGENT; ?> will actually be output by your browser as plain text.

Thanks, guess they don't have it set up for php because when I go to the page, it tries to download itself.

You might try, as one last test, a .php extension, then again with a .php3 extension. Version 4.x accepts the former; version 3.x the latter.

chmod the file to 666 and it should work.
