How do I get my PHP based login page to work on my Earthlink site?

[Ross_H__Capaccio]

I'm new to using the server-side behavior in Dreamweaver CS4. I built and tested a PHP based login page on my localhost and it works fine, but it does not work on my Earthlink account. Tech support at EL will not help beyond a certain point.

I loaded my root folder (scc_website) to Earthlink's webdocs folder, but beyond my root folder I'm not sure what else to upload so I uploaded all the folders in htdocs to Earthlinks webdocs:

_mmServerScripts

_notes

_Connections

contrib

forbidden

restricted

scc_website

SpryAssets

xampp

Can someone please offer some advise?

Does not work in what way? Any error messages? Are error messages enabled? Are you sure you have php with your hosting?

B.regent, thank you for offering to help out. Earthlink assures me that PHP is working, but the page is blank see link

Shouldn't something show on the page? I can understand where the login form wouldn't work, but wouldn't the html show something?

By default, php suppresses error messages. If you see a blank page, you've encountered an error. During development, you need to adjust the error reporting level. I don't really do php so I'm not sure if there are other ways, but here's a site with a simple explanation.

David Powers or one of the other knowledgeable php developers might suggest a different method.
