hi everyone, i am in my 3rd year college and i want to learn the PHP programming language. i have a background on other programming languages like HTML, JavaScript, JAVA and Visual Basic which i study both in school and via online. and when i come to research on PHP i have learned that it is need to be configured on my web server?and so i search for more article and i found this site on how to check if my web server supports PHP. 1st it make me do a simple info.php (containing this code: <?php phpinfo(); ?> ) -- the result is blank. just a white page, no error. nothing.. 2nd is making another .php file containing this code:
<?php// Start Sessionsession_start();// Show bannerecho '<b>Session Support Checker</b><hr />';// Check if the page has been reloadedif(!isset($_GET['reload']) OR $_GET['reload'] != 'true') { // Set the message $_SESSION['MESSAGE'] = 'Session support enabled!<br />'; // Give user link to check echo '<a href="?reload=true">Click HERE</a> to check for PHP Session Support.<br />';} else { // Check if the message has been carried on in the reload if(isset($_SESSION['MESSAGE'])) { echo $_SESSION['MESSAGE']; } else { echo 'Sorry, it appears session support is not enabled, or you PHP version is to old. <a href="?reload=false">Click HERE</a> to go back.<br />'; }}?>
and the result is this (i used FTP client (FileZilla Server) to upload those file. and i open them using my browser.) does this mean that my web server dont support PHP? if not what should i do to make my web server support PHP?
