Thanks again Jamey. I get what your saying about the index.php i think i will just rename it index.php because if i look at the original source files for the site it is named index and it is a php form but there are also html forms for other pages so im guessing the server supports php and ofcourse html but is that normal for some pages to be php and html? Basicly what i have been asked to do is rebuild an exsisting site
www.coolfm974.com if you happen to look on the site you will see there is not alot going on there. Thankfully they are not in a hurry for this new site . It is pretty much done so all i need to do is either email the source files to owner for upload or they give me the detail to do iut myself from here which would be alot easier. but from what i have been told the owner my uncle has only ever told me that he uploads changes made in DW from the DW's ftp program so i dont think he has actually "been on the server" to look at how its set up i dont really know how all that works.
which leads me to this question i have put a mailme web form into my site but when i downloaded it it gave me a second php form a "server side" script is how they described it but it says about installing this on the server. when they say install do they simply mean upload it and does this have to go in a certin directory BTW thanks for the w3school.com link i am still reading and trying to understand fully php and mysql and the source is great much appreciated
many thanks Jamey
