Free PHP/MySQL Domain Hosting???

[Guest_imported]

Hi, I have been looking for a free service that could host my domain name taht has PHP/mySQL capabilities. CGI would be great, too.
I've been using Portland but find their 15MB and 100MB transfer limit a bit of a constraint.
Could somebody please help me look for a good service? I really don't have the funds for a paid service... as this is nonprofit.
Thanks so much!

Hi,

Have a look here,

http://hosts.php.net

It's been posted before as have many other actual free services, so you should try doing a search of this forum for more links. This link has a list of hosts, which are mostly not free, but there are some free ones, although I dont know about them hosting your domain for nothing. Have a look!

I know freedom2surf is free, but again dont expect your domain to work with them, although I suppose you could get a redirect ?!?

Hope this helps Chris MacPherson

Although not free, I just thought I'd mention it for future use, my hosting provider , hostway.com, I have a site under them, although it's primarily ASP, I have found out that php will work on my hosting plan, although they dont openly say so , or mention it (I guess the server has support, but they never intended the account to have support, since on Unix Accounts below preminium charges 5$ a month extra for PHP support) but if it comes around to getting your own site on paid hosting, hostway has been good for me.

I use

http://www.portland.co.uk

which provides me with free hosting, PHP, mySQL and no ads.

You get 15mb of file storage and 100mb transfer per month.
Portland also provides free POP mail boxes.

Overall I'm happy with the service they provide.

I do not understand when you use the Select command how do you create a query and how do you access it and put into a temporary table???? How do you catch the output from a select command?

Also how do you take a record and put into a insert, update, replace, and delete mySQL statements?

Please Advise

This is the script for select something from a db
--------------------------------------------------------
$db = mysql_connect($server, $username, $password);

mysql_select_db($dbname,$db);

$query = "SELECT * FROM something";

$result = mysql_query($query,$db);

--------------------------------------------------------
And then you can access the table contents with these functions:

mysql_result(<row>,$result,<fieldname>); ((replace <row> and <fieldname> for their proper values.

$myrow = mysql_fetch_row($result);

$myrow = mysql_fetch_object($result);

Well, i hope this wil help you out....
And i hope you know a bit of php. Winderic
