First check the features and support documentation for your website host. Often website hosts offer a variety of hosting packages depending which facilities you want. If your host doesn’t provide this information then you can find out yourself by creating a new text document called test.

First check the features and support documentation for your website host. If you are the host server hardware administrator and need to install php then you can download it at http://www.php.net. If your host doesn’t provide this information then you can find out yourself by creating a new text document called test.php and copy the following lines of code into it: You’ve got PHP!

PhpGedView will work here.”; exit; ?>

Sorry, no php.

Upload this new test.php file to your site and point your browser to it. If you have php on your site, you will see a message saying that you’ve got php and that PhpGedView will work. If you don’t have php then you will see a message saying that you don’t have php.
