Advanced Poll 2.03 on webpage

I have installed and activated Data Base Version of Advance Poll 2.03. I am not able to embed the poll on my homepage.

I need to put my poll in my index.html file
i.e. http://www.zmustudents.com/index.html

I've followed all the procedures and steps but the poll doesn't work on a webpage.

<?php
// Important! You have to include it before your html code
include_once "C:/W3Sites/zmustudents/www/poll/poll_cookie.php";
?>

<html>
<body>
<?php
include_once "C:/W3Sites/zmustudents/www/poll/booth.php";
echo $php_poll->poll_process(4);
?>

I get error message about poll_process(4);
what should i do on the particular html file to rectify the error.

regards,

fahim

Can you please post the complete error message.

Change page extension to *.php

Thats what I thought at first but they say they are getting an error message where if the page extension was other than .php it would just show the commands. Probably is their problem though just to make me look stupid

If it was anything else but *.php you would get the poll_process(4);
bit and not a lot else. It has to be *.php.

NB - PHP code requires a file with an extension of *.php!!!

Actually .shtml would work as well :p well depending on server setup.

Well, that's if your doing it as an Server Side Include (SSI).

so your saying that i should turn my homepage file i.e. index.html to index.php
will it work?
my hosting server does support php but my concern is will the visitor able to view my php extension homepage file when they'll click www.zmustudents.com

when a server recieves a request that does not specify a particular file it will send them the index.* file if it exists. My entire site is made up of .php pages.

Your server does NOT support PHP?!?!?
This is a Poll written in PHP!

No they say their server DOES support PHP.
