Frontpage2003 with php

[age13kid]

ok i rented a book from the librarie that teaches php..(i want to learn it) i tried the most simpilist code in the world...

<?php
print "hello world"
?>

and i tried it on a html editor i made and it didnt work. so i thought probaly it was the geocities server(im still waiting for vipernet). so then i tried it on my frontpage 2003 and lo'! still no "Hello World"!!!!
im thinking that frontpage doesnt support php... can anybody help me???

its not whether frontpage 2k3 supports php its what the server supports. the server needs PHP (http://www.php.net) installed. frontpage is just an editor not a server program. things might have changed however, cuz last time i used frontpage was about 3 years ago. nonetheless php needs to be installed on the machine for you to use .php,.php3 pages.

i reviewd the book...it says something like that but i didnt think i would need it...because i thought that you could view php on a webpage because your computer has to know how to handle php in order to read it right? ok thanx for the help i thought it was faulty software...
php thingy from the book (http://www.php.net)

yes you need php installed so the server knows what to do with the code in the pages...otherwise it jus kinda dies on you or displays the php code as text ;)
