Hello folks.
I am trying to place someones link into a section of my home page, but after copying the code, and pasting it, nothing appears; no link. Here is the code:

<?php echo (file_get_contents("http://ilink-xchange.co.cc/randlink.php")); ?>

Is this correct markup?
Thanks!

The code is valid as long as the PHP version you are running is 4.3.0 or above.
Worked fine on my server

Yes, it's correct.

Yes, but all I did was paste this code into my page; I have not done anything concerning php within the cpanel of my host. This was just a link given to me by a guy who is starting a link exchange site.
Is there something that I am suppose to do besides just pasting the link?

Is the file you pasted it in a .php file? Does your server support PHP?

You most likely answered the question. The php code is pasted into my homepage of which is an html file. My host, http://frihost.com dose support
php.

Then rename index.html (your default) to index.php and you should be fine.

few hosting provider doesn't allowed a function for fopen or file_get_contents,ask you hosting support ..

PHP Code:


echo file_get_contents("http://ilink-xchange.co.cc/randlink.php"); 


Thanks again to all of you!
There is also a java version of the code that I have decided to use. I know that browsers are much more agreeable to PHP, but the link is only temporary, so I can deal with java.
