Thanks Jesse : )

there doesnt appear to be a MAC version of php

[Jesse]

PHP is a server side script. It doesn't work on PCs either unless you're running a local webserver. If you isntall some sort of webserver (for example Apache http://www.apache.org (I'd think they'd have a MAC version) ) it will work... or if you put it on the web (provided your host supports it, which most good hosts do), which is what the tutorial is intended for...

Hey there, Jesse,

Page seems to be down for dynamic php counter tutorial.
It just loads a blank white page. What's up?

Cheers,

Whoops! Something must have gone wrong in the transition to the new layout... I'll fix it up ASAP

Hey I followed your tutorial exactly and I think I did it right, but what do I do after uploading everything? How do I get it onto my site?

what a question...
Just put the script on your fla.
and the file on the appropriate folder (change the path then)...
That's all

I have a feeling I have overlooked some small detail. This is the first time I have ever messed with PHP so bare with me.

I have my site on my server, I made the counter using the tutorial and uploaded the couter.txt, counter.php3 & the swf for the counter.

What I dont understand is how I make the counter appear on the my site. I tried importing the counter.swf into my site in flash, but didnt work. I guess what I dont understand is how a seperate file(counter.swf) is going to appear on my site when I have not put it there. And tehn how I chose the position of it after it's there.

Like I said it's probably something small that I didnt see because of my lack of knowledge in this area.

Instead of doing this on a separate file, just do this at the begining of your website (so at the begining of the fla).
That's all.
