Is publishing PHP different than html?

[gunnk2]

I have no problems publishing html pages, but i need a php page and the links are broken. Is there a trick I am missing? Do I still save to the public_html folder? I have saved as a php under page properties. I have also saved the page. I am using .php when I type in the address. The error code I am getting is FILE DOES NOT EXIST.

Help!

This is the link I am trying for www.youronlinemarketer.com/dvdclub.php

This one with the same information saved as an html works fine. www.youronlinemarketer.com/dvdmovie.html

Thank you,
gunnk2

Re: Is publishing PHP different than html?

As far as how you create the pages and publish them the only difference is in the page properties/file types. If you create a page and add a form to it BV will automatically publish as a .php
This of course is a simplistic explaination of the differences concentrating on your question about building, saving and publishing. Yes all your pages are published to your public_html folder.

I am seeing an error for an unexpected variable on line 7 not sure what you have without seeing it but maybe someone else can shed more light on this.

I removed the tracking link which would be the unexpected variable on line 7 and that fixed the problem. So, the question now is how to I track without that link? Hmmmmm...

Thanks for the help

You probably just forgot to end the php script with "?>"

No, I ended with that. At first, I thought it might be that I used the wrong specific tracking id code for the CPA network I use, but when I went back and plugged that in and published the page again, it didn't work again. For now, I am going without the tracking code. Thanks anyway, it was a good suggestion.

Its a syntax error with the code itself. If you post the exact code you are using I will take a look

Re: Is publishing PHP different than html?

These are the codes I have tried

This one begins with the maxbounty subid code &s1=
&s1=<?PHPecho$tracking;?>

Subid=<?PHPecho$tracking;?>

I attach it onto this link inside an iframe

minus the & sign up there.

Here is the what the page looks like here in the us
http://www.mb01.com/lnk.asp?o=1207&c=918273&a=33005&s1={keyword}

This is how it shows up in Canada which where I am advertising. It is a Canada only ad.

http://www.youronlinemarketer.com/dvdclub.php?tracking={keyword}

Hope this all makes since.

Re: Is publishing PHP different than html?

If that is the exact code you are using the problem is that there needs to be a space after <?PHP, so it should be

<?PHP echo $tracking;?>

[gunnk2]

Re: Is publishing PHP different than html?

awesome! I will try that. so there needs to be a space before and after echo or is it more important that the space needs to be after the PHP?

Thank you, so much!

IT WORKED!

There has to be a space after <?php, the spacing between echo and $tracking is for readability and following programming conventions, but isn't required.
