Thanks to web maven for info on how to reply to you guys.. VERY BAD that Yahoo dont inform newbs about this.. I would never have found that.. anyway here is my host site php settings page.. its in indonesian sorry ..http://www.idebagus.com/blog/setting-php-di-cpanel
anyway it appears to be OFF at this time.. ( php).. I will upload the test php to this address www.cspwealth.com/html/test.php see what happens .. re site address qery by Gatorsta.. page names all end .html
Thanx to both..
Further info
The forms on site on Home and about us pages use php and they work fine.
whoa.. I just checked my site at test.php…miles of info.. I hope u guys know what its all about..Thanx
Tried changing page extn to.php but doesnt work in so much as my menu bar only knows its looking for a html page, and my authoring program, Net objects Fusion 8 will not allow me to mix html/php in same site… not that im aware of anyway.
so Ive sent an e mail to my hosting outfit and asked them to change the settings on the .htaccess file as you suggest, as i cannjot access it.
guess i will have to wait a day and see what they come up with.
many thanx for help so far.. I will let you know what happens.

Ok I heard back from my hosting co. they said … yes .. go ahead and edit the file…what they didnt say was the file doesent exist until I make it.. I followed your instructions and copied the code into notepad.. however no way was it going to save a file with a . dot at the beginning..NOOOOO way.. In the end my host company sent me one.. which I posted.. it doesnt work.. sorry.. hope you can track down the problem Ive set the site for anon ftp access… so you can dive in..
Thanks again..
Gary

A few questions:
A) Is PHP installed correctly or can you use PHP on your web server?
To test this, try creating a file called “test.php”, open it up in Notepad and add the following lines:
Then save the file, add it to your web server, and browse to the file in a web browser. You should be able to see information about your server. If you get an error or a blank page, then PHP is not set up correctly or not installed.
B) I don’t see the entire address to the file on your web site. Does the file name end with “.php”?
As gatorstarhd suggested, one way to correct your problem is to change the extension of your file from .html to .php. The way you have it now will not work, because your server is not set up to process PHP code in .html files.
Or, if you are on an Apache server and can set up your own .htaccess file, you should add the following code to it:
AddHandler application/x-httpd-php .php .html
Post back here (Add details) if you have questions about that, or run into problems.
Edit…
You can see that your PHP is working fine, if you visit this URL:
You still need to do one of two things:
(1) change the file name of your “calculators.html” to “calculators.php”
or…
(2) set up your .htaccess file the way I suggested. I’m not sure your web host allows you to do that. You can do my #1 suggestion yourself with no problem.
Edit — anonymous FTP is not a good idea. You should turn that option off.
You should be able to use cPanel to set up and edit your .htaccess file.
Edit — By the way, it seems to be working OK now:
But you need to correct the background color and/or the color of the text.
