I want to use PHP to make an on-line multi-player game using PHP combined with Macromedia Flash. I found a tutorial on the internet and copied the code, then I pasted it into a notepad and saved it with a .php extension. Now I've uploaded it to my website and I went to the page where it was located and all thats there is the code. It just displays all the code I typed in, tags and everything.

I'm using godaddy.com and doteasy.com to host it. I'm not sure which one is actually the server for my website.

I'm not sure what you're asking. Can you restate the question?

Even their Windows servers seem to run Apache and claim to have PHP though...

Where did you find that? I was looking for that forever. That could be the reason. I might be hosting off http://www.godaddy.com does it support php and mySQL?

My Godaddy account supports PHP. I use it all the time. I have the $3.99/mo package running on Linux. If you're running on Windows, you can easily switch everything over to Linux.

There might be a good free host in that advertising section this forum's got.

Hint. Hint.

Ok, I know what how I got the website now. I got the name from godaddy, registered it free at doteasy, then hosted it on godaddy, so it should support PHP.

from this it sounds like you got the domain name from godaddy, but the server space from doteasy. you also say that you registered it "free" at doteasy.

according to the doteasy site, their "free" option does not support PHP. there's your answer. the reason you are seeing the code/tags is that some webservers will parse a .php file as text and just dump the entire contents into the browser window.

i suggest you find another host (if you want free hosting) that does support PHP, or start paying for it.
