What is PHP?
PHP, also known as PHP: Hypertext Preprocessor, is an
open-source scripting language and interpreter. It is used to create interactive and customized Web pages and is
an alternative to Microsoft Active Server Page (ASP) technology.
When PHP script is embedded within a Web page, the Web server calls PHP to interpret and perform the operations specified in the PHP script.
Web pages with embedded PHP script can use the file extensions .php.
Does Witness Today support PHP?

At Witness Today, PHP is run as an ISAPI binary.
How do I request PHP support?

What is a php.ini file? Can I use one?
On a UNIX platform, a php.ini
file gives you greater control over the PHP environment and the way PHP
runs. It enables you to override specific settings and modify the way
PHP is built on the server in order to meet your own specifications.
Witness Today uses only Windows platforms and does not allow you to configure your own php.ini
file.
Can I use PEAR?

Where should I upload my PHP files?
You can upload your .php files to any directory within your
site.
PHP and MySQL are not working. What is wrong?
PHP is compiled by default with MySQL support. One common error with PHP and MySQL results when you attempt to connect to your databases using
a host other than "localhost".
