PHP questions

Hi,

I'm seriously considering moving my hosted domains to HostGator but have a couple of questions about PHP.

1. Can someone please provide me with HG output of phpinfo(); or give me a link to a phpinfo() script hosted on a HG server? Specifically PHP5 thanks.

2. I'm a little confused about the "Please note, PHP 5 will not work work using a temporary URL. PHP 5 is only accessible when using the domain name to access your account." as it relates to add-on domains. Is PHP5 available to all add-on and sub domains? Do all php scripts have to be located in the public_html folder or can they be located in the sub-directories for each add-on domain located under the public_html folder? What is a temporary URL?

TIA for your time.

Cheers,
P

I can't do your first question, but here are some answers to the second.

You can use your PHP scripts for both your "main" domain and your add-ons. They can be placed anywhere in your account's directory structure.

The limitation about the temporary url refers to the server's IP-based URL you receive with your welcome email that allows you to log into cPanel or see your content before your DNS propagates to HG. PHP scripts for add-ons won't work with the IP-based URL.

Thanks gwyneth. Ok, so no one can point me to a phpinfo() page - Q1. Is GD support enabled? Q2. Is mcrypt enabled? Q3. Is PDO enabled for mysql and pdo_mysql at ? TIA, Phred

To me phpinfo contains sensitive data. Here's all I can give you...

Someone else will have to reply about pdo. Don't see it in phpinfo.

ask Live chat about your pdo requirement, they'll might have it on some servers if not all.

PDO requires the object-oriented capabilities of PHP 5, so PHP 5.0 or higher is a prerequisite. The PDO extension ships with binary versions of PHP 5.1 and 5.2 but I am not sure if it's enabled by default or if HG will have it turned on?
