<div class="IPBDescription">Help meh please.</div> Hi everybody. I am the webmaster for my clan homepage. Recently, the members have been requesting a forum for the site. I have tried numerous free services, but they all lack the power of a PHP-coded forum. I have a few questions about PHP, hopefully someone can help me.

1. Can I set up PHP on a free web service such as Angelfire?
2. How do I install PHP?
3. Where can I find an easy to follow config guide for PHP?

Thanx in advance for all of your help. <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->

    Nope. Angelfire sucks <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo-->

    Well, I downloaded an APACHE webserver with support for PHP and MySQL.

    yeah, PHP is a server side scripting language, one of its many many uses is for generating HTML files. Its not for client side stuff.

    And no, you're not going to find any free hosts that let you run PHP scripts. If you're serious enough to absolutely need PHP then you're probably serious enough to fork out the cash for a good host, otherwise you can make due without it.
