I recently opened up a web site. I'm trying to create a PHP counter. I have the files and all, but I cant seen to make it work. My host supports PHP, CGI, My SQL, etc..

What am i doing wrong..

That's a newsletter. I thought you were trying to figure out how to make a counter.

Can you get any PHP to work? How about something like:

<?PHP
echo "PHP is working.";
?>And be sure you have it saved with a .php extention.

Ok, I its works now.. But the host is elsewhere.. Usually its http://www.domain.com/cgi etc but mine is http://cgi.domain.com/ so how would i go about linking it to my main site?

Correct. PHP rarely ever runs as a CGI build (it certainly is not recommended to run as such). It's probably the way the server is set up.

Do you have access to the server, to make changes?

You do not need a cgi-bin at all to run php, in fact you don't even need cgi installed on the server to run php, because php has nothing to do with cgi, you just need a server that supports php.
