Grrrr....PHP/ws_FTP problem

I built a simple web page using Web Easy Pro 5 and I am trying to upload it to my ISP. My front page is supposed to be named index.html and it is (as far as I can tell) but it is still not uploading/displaying correctly. When I enter the direct URL it says it cannot be displayed but when I go to Roadrunners page and choose to view the page I get this

def ,`POINT00001`,0,750, def ,`POINT00002`,132,784, def ,`fgc`,`#000000`,yes, def ,`font`,`Arial#12#Normal#0#0#0`,yes, def ,`name`,`
The Family
`,yes, def ,`subtype`,`html`,yes, def ,`type`,`G_TEXT`,yes, pop_current_object def ,`10003`,`G_TEXT`,GTX148155430, GTX148155890 == 0 push_object GTX148155890 def ,`POINT00001`,367,743, def ,`POINT00002`,458,789, def ,`fgc`,`#000000`,yes, def ,`font`,`Arial#12#Normal#0#0#0`,yes, def ,`name`,`
Stuff
`,yes, def ,`subtype`,`html`,yes, def ,`type`,`G_TEXT`,yes, pop_current_object def

The direct URL is www.home.stx.rr.com/lor

to view it through Roadrunner go to

http://help.rr.com/getpage.asp?/asp/...ic.asp,memserv

On the left is Personal Home Pages, choose PHP Maintenance and the name of the site is lor

Anyone with any ideas or help?

You using PHP? You will probably need to do a little more than FTP it if you're using PHP. Also, I don't think Road Runner supports PHP or any time of databasing - I would try to write the webpage in pure HTML. What I would do is to write a simple HTML webpage and FTP that - see if anything works. Something like this:
PHP Code:
<html><head><title>My New Webpage</title></head><body>
<
font face="Comic Sans MS" size="2">Very interesting text</font></body></html
Also, be sure you FTP the HTML and PHP pages as ASCII format and the pictures and stuff like that as Binary. WS_FTP should do that automatically, but be sure it's alll right.


Hope that helps,
kram

Ok, I was frustrated when I posted that. I should have clarified PHP. I was refering the Roadrunner terminology of Personal Home Page, not a program.

I did end up trying to seperate the pics and html and that worked (your right it will do it automatically I later found a setting that wasn't right). The front page posted fine but none of my links to other pages worked.....lol. Out of frustration I deleted the whole thing and created a really simple 3 pager with only pics. This uploaded fine and worked with the exception of one "back" button. I guess I'll go back and start over on the page I want and try again. At least now my grandparents can get on and DL some pics of my daughter.

I did learn one thing.....I have alot to learn! It has been fun so far though.

Hehe - personal home page...that's exactly what PHP, the program, was referred to as at one point. Of course, it really stands for "Hypertext PreProcessor"...not exactly PHP, but still it is. I'm glad it worked out, though. WS_FTP usually does a good job at seperating binary from ASCII.

As for the back button, I'm presuming its a link. In that case, be sure that the URL is correct and that you type in only the file name and the subfiles that it resides under. In other words, if its in the "folder one" directory of your website and it's named "file.html", be sure to write
PHP Code:
<a href="/folder%20one/file.html"
Might not be your problem, but just mentioning it. Glad it worked out.
