I called godaddy customer service and was fortunate enough to get a php application programmer who knows mysql and he gave me the following code to place in a file named info.php, which needs to be located in the root of the site. When you go to
www.yoursite.com/info.php it will tell you everything about your php installaton.
Create a file in notepad or your html editor containing all of and only this code (which I copied out of the one I created in Dreamweaver):
<?php echo "<?xml version=\"1.0\" encoding=\"iso-8859-1\"?".">"; ?>
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "
www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="
www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head>
<title>Untitled Document</title>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1" />
</head>
<body>
<? phpinfo(); ?>
</body>
</html>
Some of this code is not necessary - the tech told me to create a page with <? phpinfo(); ?> in the body, but I let DW do what it wanted. Save it under the name info.php and upload it to your root folder. Open it and be amazed.
