phwhat?

Expand Post »
I am the webmaster for a site hosted by ipowerweb.com. Among the applications they offer is a survey tool, but it must in a file with .php extension. I have no idea what that means. The site's tech support said I would have to use an external html editor such as FrontPage and put the survey script on that page and download it to the site's file manager. I have FrontPage but can't find anywhere to change the file type to .php. Can anybody help? Bear in mind that I know nothing about html.

Thanks.

Re: phwhat?

what kind of a webmaster knows absolutely nothing about html?
html and php files are both just plain text. Simpley change the extension from .htm to .php.

Re: phwhat?

You can try saving the file as .php (in FrontPage) or changing the file extension manually:

Alternatively, you may also change it through an FTP once it is up on the server.

Huh?! I have to agree with Phaelax on this one. Please explain how you are a "webmaster", acl.

i have to agree here on this one as well. dont take up a webmaster position if you know nothing about html. try searching google for info on html and even check out w3c schools for info on basic html and such at http://w3cschools.com
