PHP on Geocities?

is it supported?

[coopfreak]

Hey, I'm running on a Geocities server and I want to use Server Side Includes. Does Geocities support PHP? Anyone?

[robotsdobetter]

No, you have to upgrade to their web hosting to get that or go else where, anyway, if you want to run a real web site it's better to get a domain name.

I do have a domain and I'm on their pro hosting service. So...now that yall have all the info can anybody help?

I believe I heard they have php but I have no idea what packegs it is with, was it them that someone said were still runnin 4.0.1?

you will probably have to contact them.

[coopfreak]

Well, I tried contacting them before through their customer service and all I got was that Geocites doesn't provide customer support for advanced scripts etc. (sigh)...

That doesn't mean they support php, it just means you can serve a file with a .php extension. ;)

[jatar_k]

then just slap up a phpinfo [php.net] page on your site and see

or throw an include in a file and see what happens.

If you want a web service that supports PHP through Yahoo!, you will have to go with their Standard plan in the business solutions hosting. Look at the following pages.

[geocities.yahoo.com...]

Oh, okay. Seems strange to allow you to serve a .php file without php support. ;)

wow, that stinks... I didn't really want to pay that much a month seeing as my site's fine right now and I paying a fraction of that. I guess I'll just have to go without sweet server side includes... Darn you Geocities. :(
