Thanks for information, but my server doesn't allow me .htaccess files. How about .config , can I do anything with them?
Thanks again!
P.S. I have my site hosted on Yahoo small business server, so I guess they have their restrictions. |

Hi aj,
I think they let you do it but it's just that Windows does not understand file that starts with a dot like .htaccess file.
I found a good link that answers your question and offer a way to get around the problem. It's a Q&A session of a forum
http://www.ozoneasylum.com/21005
Hope that helps, mate!  |

The example Page has no more poll
This is to inform everybody that the sample page on the site Oohoi.com no longer has a poll on it. The site has been sold and I decide to take off the poll.
Dont worry, the instruction still works! |

I've come to the conclusion that I don't know what I'm doing. 
I've tried all the first posts instructions and have managed to hose it up somewhere along the way.
This
poll_process(4); ?>
is the error I get when I look at the page after I tried to put the code in
where I think it's meant to be. 
With putting the htaccess suggested code in, it reads
deny from all
AddType application/x-httpd-php .php .html
in the .htaccess
The poll code I put in didn't work with or without either line.
I think I need an example from someone who knows what they are doing of what it will look right in the page. So here's what I ask with great kindness. Please copy and paste my testpage html page guts and insert with red highlight WHERE the suggested code should appear and how it should read.
Thank you.
Testpage below line.
~~~~~~~~~~~
<!doctype html public "-//w3c//dtd html 4.0 transitional//en">
<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">
<meta name="Author" content="Mystuff">
<meta name="GENERATOR" content="Mozilla/4.78 [en]C-STAR032398 (Win98; U) [Netscape]">
<title>testpage_1</title>
</head>
<body>
post stuff here
</body>
</html>
~~~~~~~~
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi marmalade kat,
First things first. Since you use .html as extension in your .htaccess ( AddType application/x-httpd-php .php .html )
make sure you save your file in .html and not .htm
Secondly, your path must be correct! Look at poll/poll_cookie.php . That is only a sample. Your path depends on where you install the poll .. just get the code from the poll's panel.
This is how your testpage.html source should look like
--------------------------------------------------
<?php
// Important! You have to include it before your html code
include_once "poll/poll_cookie.php";
?>
<!doctype html public "-//w3c//dtd html 4.0 transitional//en">
<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">
<meta name="Author" content="Mystuff">
<meta name="GENERATOR" content="Mozilla/4.78 [en]C-STAR032398 (Win98; U) [Netscape]">
<title>testpage_1</title>
</head>
<body>
post stuff here
<?php
include_once "poll/booth.php";
echo $php_poll->poll_process(1);
?>
</body>
</html>
------------------------------------------------
Goodluck!

Maybe you don't have a .htaccess file or possibly your FTP client is set to not show hidden files as the .htaccess file is normal hidden. If it exists it is in the root of your site.

Click on your folder 'Advance Guest Book' or whatever you named it
then...click on 'admin'
You should find .htaccess at the top of that file list
Did you find it? (I hope)

If you can't see it you may not have one or it may be hidden.
You can easily create one following the instructions on one of the sites
linked above (a few posts up). They can be made using say WordPad
and saving it like this...
Save As... ".htaccess" (with the quotes)
