[Mr Happy]

Hi

Im new to this web design I am using DW mx the web domain that I am using runs php scripts, but I dont know how to incorporate them into my design and how do I get to view what they do.

Hi there,
I'm a bit confused - do you mean your server has a set of pre-saved php scripts that you can use? Apart from an online description ther ain't much you can do really apart from download the script to your machine and open it in a text editor.
1) It may be well commented
2) Learn some PHP and work it out.

Hi

Thank for your comments

Yes the server has a lot of usable php scripts, but I dont know how to incorporate them into my dw web pages.

I take on board your comment about learning more about php scripting,
do you have and suggestions of site that in can go to for this help.

Hi,
If it is just a script without anything to help you install etc, then you are pretty much going to have to download it, check what parameters it requires...
You can either call a script from a form (ie <form name='etc' method='POST' /*or get*/ action='myScript.php>)
or you can go to it directly.
http://www.myhost.php?arg=blah&etc=4&blah=arg...

Basically as long as the file is on the server, you can use it by linking to it from one of the above methods - sometimes you need to set up the script to have directory access etc however you will find a lot of these free ones work out of the box so to speak...
If you PM me your email addy I'll send you a couple of useful php ebooks that may help. Another GREAT place to look is http://www.php.net

(You can always post bits of script in here too if you're unsure what a particular line doesn & I'm sure people will be happy to help!)
