They say providing cgi can have a lot of security issues with the server, is there any with providing php support? thanks for the info :)

Yes there is, if you provide Php support with its default configuration.

could you expand more please?

Well, there are some php configurations that you can tweak to make it safer. Example: safe_mode, globals_register, disable_functions, open_basedir and so on.

There's also some configurations that can be tweaked on the server end that can help make offering PHP last of a problem (just as with CGI)

The full scope of this is really beyond the forum though. You can try reading the security section of the documentation on php.net. That can give you some insights into the issue.

ok. i was wondering with the script home free

:confused:

home free is a free host script. http://hf-online.com

What about it ?

I'm pretty sure that you can't use PHP with that script. Definitely no mysql. Their support sucks. I emailed them just last week and they replied 4 days later. Reviews on them at the cgiresourceindex are not good.

There are much better scripts out there too.

what scripts are better? I hear it is a very good script and you can use php with it. you add it to the file extentions that you want to support. I know somebody using the script and they love it.
