Need help with Frontpage2003 and php

[bkeelane]

My company has our website hosted through an ISP on a server that will not
read vbscript. I was told that I could use php and mysql to make database
connections, updates, etc. I was given access to a php admin page (example
www.ourwebsite.com\pma) to create and access databases but I have no idea
how to incorporate the appropriate script into frontpage. I did a few tests
to see if frontpage would even read the script and it didnt work. How do I
get frontpage to acknowledge php script? or does it not work with frontpage?
I thought it did seeing that my isp told me i could use it and he knows that
we design our pages using frontpage. if i cannot use php to access the mysql
databases and the web server does not read vbasic what scripting language
should i use? Someone please help!! And keep in mind Im a newbie!! Thanks!

I've just recently spent a great deal of time working on a PHP app
specifically to use in FrontPage. there are some things here:
http://contentseed.com/help, particularly PHP as HTM-HTML that may be useful
to you.

btw, FrontPage will never "recognize" php script in such a way that it'll
_do_ anything with it. for php stuff to work it's got to be on a server
(that has PHP installed on it).
