make a file called test.php and put the following in it.

<?php

phpinfo();

?>

if u see lots of details, thats good, otherwise, the server doesn't run PHP

Nope, comes up blank, with the files source being

VB Code:

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN">
<HTML><HEAD>
<META http-equiv=Content-Type content="text/html; charset=windows-1252"></HEAD>
<BODY><PRE></PRE></BODY></HTML>

That probably means it's not enabled, unless it requires .php3 or .php4 extensions.

That or the hosting company disabled the php_info() function.

You should try an echo command like so:

PHP Code:

<?php echo "Hello World!"; // what I geeky phrase, :p ?>

(be sure to name your file with a .php extension)
