Hi there, i am newbie in this. Recently i bought a template from template monster,it is a e-commerce template, i have all the files i need, what i want to know now is that i have the php files in folder too, but i don't know how to make it work with my pages. I only have the first page that show up but i don't know how to make it link and working with my php files. Does it need to store in Database? I don't really know how it works...
PHP should render correctly and output HTML for your browser, if it is in fact outputting something. Could you show us your site? I have a feeling there might be configuration files of some sort, or possibly that your server doesn't have PHP compiled.
my site is not setup yet since the code is not running so i took it off again, i am using Frontpage to do it. If my server doesn't have PHP complied what should i do then? i thought it is something with database because my sites aiming on online store, where customer can register their account and buying thing from me. Does this mean i need a database? I bought the template and now i don't know how to apply it...sad.
My first bit of friendly advice: uninstall frontpage, and never touch it again. Second, verify with your hosting that you in fact have PHP installed. Otherwise when you access pages, you will just get a bunch (seemingly) foreign text (should be the PHP code). You will definitely need a database for an online store. Unless your using text files to hold all of the information, in which case you need to get a script. So, verify with your hosting company that you have PHP installed. If not, you may consider transferring to another hosting company (or upgrading). One final thing you may check, is to make sure you updated all of the values in any of the configuration files and made sure that the files had necessary permissions. Let me know if there is anything else I can help you with - Louis
this is the scripting feature, i assume that my domain have PHP installed right? Scripting Features Microsoft ASP Scripting Microsoft ASP.NET Microsoft .NET Framework 1.1 Microsoft XML PHP5 Scripting Python Scripting Cold Fusion Scripting Perl Scripting but for now, how do i make my php work? i purchase the template with template monster, they only provided me a few folder, one of the folder is name "OSC" then from inside i can see a lot of PHP and some folder. You ask me not to use frontpage, what should i use then? Dreamweaver? i thought u just upload all the thing into my domain then i can use all the thing, but it doesn;t seems like it to be, your help is appreciated~Thanks.
If you don't know PHP - pay a coder. TO save money, get them to integrate the template with Zen Cart or some other prebuilt solution.
Yes it looks like you have PHP installed. I recommend using anything but Frontpage. Editing things in frontpage will completely ruin any working code that you had. I personally try to stay away from any WYSIWYG editors. If its a shopping cart of some sort, you're going to need to integrate it with a database (and probably change some configurations in one of the files). Cheers, Louis

thanks for all the helps, i guess it is something related to OScommerce, and it state that i can upload all my thing in web storage and run "://my-web-address/install/" then i can call up their osc software installer and install it to my web, but it's seems like this is not working at all...i guess this is their problem about all this thing.
Finally i successfully install the OSC, Thanks for all the help out there. One thing i will like to ask,Now i have to type "http://www.mysites.com/shop/index.php then i can reach my sites but when i type "http://www.mysites.com" it display the page not found...how do i make it when people type "www.mysites.com" to reach my sites then? Instead of typing the long address...
Create a new file on your root directory called ".htaccess" In it, write: DirectoryIndex shop/index.php Code (markup):
