PHP dilemma!

[segavenger]

Hey all,

Ok, I'm using this PHP script, it's a high score table for a game. Now I added the file to my site, and a folder to store the scores in (as per the "High Score List W/ PHP" by Glen Rhodes)

now just to test it, I accessed the scoreTable through my browser,

http://paradigmrift.tripod.com/scores.php?filename=scores/score.sco&scoresize=10&action=VIEW&viewtype=HTML

What's wrong? Is this because my site is hosted by *shudder* Tripod? if it is, i"m gonna scream, cause I spent the last day and a half working on this game, and I really want to have high scores for it (It just wouldn't be the same)

Please help me. I'm freakin out here.

Try this:





http://paradigmrift.tripod.com/scores.php





And look at the source. It's not parsing the file as php, it's showing the code. Doesn't look like tripod allows php code.

cr@p. this sucks!!!

guess I'll just have to let my game collect dust until I can ditch Tripod and get the high scores working.

I'm really sad about this,

well, thanks for givin' me a straight answer man, I really appreciate it.

Tripod doesn't support PHP period!!

Tripod doesn't but there are several free services(if thats what you are looking for) that support PHP.

I used portland for a little while and they seemed to be fine except they had some uptime issues. you can also try
http://www.free-php-hosting.com/
its a list of free php hosts and their offerings.

Thanks for the help guys. But I should be fine now, since I'm switching hosts
