I need to run some php files from within WP root directory, but WP keeps looking for a page with that permalink when I try to access it and gives me the 404 error, naturally. Is there a way to make this work?

I am experimenting with how PHP and mySQL works. I’m using a free host to test it all (freehostia). There is an install php file in my website directory as well as an SQL file called db. How do I setup the database on the host and install the php so everything works with each other. Any input would be great.

What exactly can you use PHP for? What i understand is that you can read and write information on a database. Is it like javascript and css where you link your PHP file with a source code in your html page?

I trying to design a "dynamic drop menu" for a website, using PHP.

The Code needs to work so that code for the menu is only written once.
Each ‘html’ page uses the menu refer-ed in PHP file.

I not sure how to do this, but I am assume that I will also need some CSS or Javascript to create the "dynamic drop menu".

Could someone possibly tell me how to go about this?
Provide some sample code or some links?

Whenever, I write on notepad and try to save as .php extension, it saves script as normal text. I have downloaded the wamp and php seems running. I have tried to save as "all files" and as I said, I have used .php extension on them. I am new and learning php from web videos and web sites.

The only way I know to run a php script is to put the name of the script in a <form action=""> tag. Are there any other options?

I have a situation where I would like to start a php script without relying on the user to press a button. I tried putting php code in a .html file, but when I load the file from the server it doesn’t execute any php.

Thanks,

I want to write a php script that sends an html email – the content of which is supplied by the output of another php file.

Do you know of any way to do this?

Many thanks

My server is free hosting server and I have uploaded wordpress in to my server via ftp. But now I cannot run the install.php file. I deleted the index.html file which was already on the server and I run the install.php file but it appears 403 forbidden. So I think I couldnt upload wordpress in to the root directory, please help me to resolve this.

I am setting up a website and i want to find the easiest way to retrieve details from a POST form.

Can i do this using a php file, i tried submitting it to go directly to my email, but then decided i’d rather have a database.

Any suggestions?

I have a file that counts as a variable in my php page. The file changes a lot in a minute. Something new appears every 5 seconds. I want php to check if the file has changed and if it has refresh the page. I simply use file_get_content command to make a a variable. Please Help!
