How To Find Out If Your Web Host Supports PHP?
September 1, 2008
Today almost every web hosting provider offers support for PHP. However if you do not know for sure if your web host offers PHP, there is very easy way to find out.
With your favorite text editor (such as Notepad) create a new document then copy and paste following line of code into the document you have just created:
Save the file and name it phpinfo.php and upload it via FTP to the root for your domain. Then point your browser to that file (should be something like www.yourdomain.com/phpinfo.php).
If your web host offers PHP your browser should open a page that will tell you the version of PHP as well as some configuration info.
If your browser opens a blank page your web host may not be offering support for PHP or it is not enable for your particular account. You should then call your web hosting provider to find out for sure.

Thank you the wonderful post. If I may add something more up until recently, scripting on the internet was something which very few people even attempted, let alone mastered. Recently though, more and more people have been building their own websites and scripting languages have become more important. Because of this, scripting languages are becoming easier to learn and PHP is one of the easiest and most powerful yet.

Great post. I think PHP is very popular because it’s free and open source, and the Internet offers lots of places to teach yourself how to use PHP. I’ve tried to learn ASP, but I couldn’t find a lot tutorials and scripting examples online, at least not as much as PHP.

Thank you for sharing this small but very helpful tip. I’ve been reading a lot about PHP but not about the useful bit of info you got here. Or maybe I just overlooked it. I appreciate you highlighting it though
